PIC BY Dmytro Gilitukha/MERCURY PRESS (PICTURED: KAYAN WOMEN WEARING THE ELONGATED NECK BRASS RINGS TO MAKE THEIR NECKS APPEAR LONGER THAN THEY ARE) These stunning photos offer an intimate look at the lives and culture of eastern Burmaís long-necked women. The Kayan women, of Kayah state, ëstretchí their necks with brass rings as an elongated neck is a sign of beauty in Kayan culture. While the brass coils make the womenís necks appear long, in reality the weight of the rings pushes down the muscles around the collarbone and compresses the rib cage ñ meaning their necks appear longer than they are. Kayah state was until recently closed to outsiders, opening to tourists in just 2014. SEE MERCURY COPY

Këto fotografi mahnitëse ofrojnë një vështrim intim në jetën dhe kulturën e femrave me “qafë të gjatë” të Birmanisë lindore.

Femrat e fisit Kayan, të shtetit Kayah, “zgjasin” qafat e tyre me unaza bronzi në shenjë të bukurisë dhe kulturës Kayan dhe janë mbiquajtur si femrat “gjirafë” prej këtij rezultati.

Mbështjellja prej bronzi bën që qafa e femrave të duket e gjatë, por në të vërtetë pesha e unazave shtyn poshtë muskujt rreth klavikulës dhe kompreson kafazin e brinjëve, duke bërë që të duket si qafë “gjirafeje”.
