A Kayan Ethnic Minority Woman In Kayah State Myanmar

Close up of a Kayan Padaung ethnic minority womans brass leg rings on 23rd January 2016 in Kayah State, Myanmar. Myanmar is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Southeast Asia with 135 different indigenous ethnic groups. There are over a dozen ethnic Karenni subgroups in the region including the Kayan who are perhaps the best known due to the traditional practice of the Kayan women extending their necks with brass rings. It is very unusual to see a woman wearing brass leg rings
