Padaung funeral, Moephyie village, near Loi Kaw, eastern Burma. The deceased is laid out in an open coffin, while mourners offer rice liquor to its lips. The padaung are best known for the custom of the women to wear coiled neck rings and leg rings made of brass. The neck rings, which are increased in length as girls get older, push down the clavicle and shoulder blades, causing deformation and an apparently longer neck. This is considered beautiful in Padaung culture (a branch of the Karenni ethnic group)
