Description: Burma image, WA0344. Type of Kachin sacrificial cross./Type of Atsi Udang.
'[Atsi religious practices] are similar to those of the Kachins. Their own local nats [spirits] are also propitiated. For example 'Yunmu' who is peculiar to the Atsis is invoked with a bare head and in a crouching attitude. Both types of 'udangs' - sacrificial crosses - are used but the Nmai type is commonest' [dissertation, 1934:246]
