A Yawyin woman.
Photograph of James Henry Green taken in the 1920s.
Yawyin was a term that was sometimes used in relation to Lisu peoples. It was considered an insult by Lisu peoples themselves and was never employed when talking about oneself.
'The women wear either a large turban, or a sort of gay head wrap, ornamented with tassels. They dress in a blue long tailed coat, shorts and gaiters, with a long apron in front, and are plentifully decorated with patched of green, yellow and red cloth' [dissertation, 1934:261].
