- HEARD OF LONG – NECKED WOMEN?
Usually the human being throughout the world is born with similar kind of body structure including the Palaung Tribe in Burma.
Why this fragment “including”, because the Palaung Tribe of Burma believes that a long neck is beautiful comparatively the normal height of the neck.
When a woman in this tribe is young, she has a brass ring fastened around her neck.
Over the years, rings are added one over the other until the neck becomes elongated and their custom of beauty is achieved.
The Palaung women also wear similar brass rings around their legs.
You may wonder how much the brass rings may vary; unbelievable it’s about 20 pounds.
