Burma image, WAA0139. [Old Lashi woman] (Researcher's notes in brackets)
"The women's kit is in design and decoration quite different from that of any other tribe in Burma. It is, however, very similar to that of the Nashis and other Lolo tribes of Northern Yunnan and Szechwan. It consists of a loose long tailed coat which is worn over a heavy, voluminous skirt. A double breasted jacket is worn underneath. The skirt and coat are woven in blue cotton and the hem of the skirt is relieved with some narrow bands of yellow. The back of the coat and the tail are decorated with bright coloured strips of cloth and cowries. The favourite colours are red, yellow and green. Coloured cotton leggings are also worn. Necklaces are very popular." [dissertation, 1934:234-235]
