UNIQUE FASHION AMONG KAYAN TRIBE

Assalamualaikum peeps,

Today, I would like to share about Kayan tribe which wearing ring at neck. It was a common tradition to them especially among women to wear ring at neck. However, wearing ring around neck was a symbol of wealth of a family when women wear it. Other than that, they are worn for beauty, as the vied for an attention in a kind of ‘Beauty Contest’. It was also a status symbol for women as, according to Kayan legend, they are the descendant of a union between the “Mother  Dragon” and a ‘zawghi’ – a male creature half human and half angel. For them, wearing ring around neck was a tradition.

Commonly, it will be a tradition wearing ring since child. A full set of neck rings weight is about 10 kilos and it sometimes will feel discomfort. The rings can be removed, some after a few decades of ring wearing.

It becomes a fashion in their tribe. But, for us it becomes weird. There a girl who has ‘a giraffe neck’ with 11 inc long neck. She was inspired by Kayan tribe.
