Summary

[edit]
Description
English: GAUNGTO WOMEN OF LOILÔNG VILLAGE
Note the leg-rings inserted in rattan garters. The weight of these rings frequently makes it so difficult for the wearers to get about that they use sticks for support. The members of another tribe wear tightly coiled brass rings around their necks, adding one and another from time to time, until their necks are elongated like a fowl and they cannot move them (see illustrations, pages 296, 298, and 307). Note the babies on their mothers' backs.
