Description: Burma image, WA0076. Two Mythun.
Green wrote in his dissertation for Cambridge University in 1934 that 'Mythun, goats, pigs, fowls and dogs are kept. Few cows are seen, as the precipitous nature of the country is not suitable for them. Mythun are kept for sacrificial purposes and as 'dahpu' - bride price - for wives. When a Mythun is sold the custom is that the second and fourth calf born after the sale belong to the original owner.' [pp.192-193] [See Photo 0071]
