Dying tribes of Myanmar. Waiting
Nikon D7500. Photo taken of a woman in her Home. One of the few Kayan woman still wearing neck rings. Nowadays only the young girls (mainly for tourism) and the older woman (for beauty and believing it protected their necks from tigers when their husbands were tending to the fields). She will be buried with her neck rings. Removing them after so many years will cause her neck to break. The weight of them must be unbearable
