Burma image, WA0325. A Gauri Kachin girl. H&S
'The [Gauri] women wear Nmai kit similar in design to that of the Marus and the Atsis. They are, however, much more ornate. Girls have their ears pierced in the middle of the pavilion at the age of about ten months and the lobes pierced at about eight years. From the first hole they often hang small red plaques of inlaid silver, and through the second hole is placed a silver tube similar to that worn by some Marus. The silver jewellery is made by the Shans, and it is the Kachin women's only treasure and is constantly being sold or pawned to meet urgent needs' [dissertation, 1934:284-285]
