Burma image, WA0426. Festival posts in the Sokte Chin chief's compound. P.R.
'Birth and marriage, death and sacrifice, the payment of a debt, the courting of a sweetheart, the making of an agreement, the slaughter of an enemy and the shooting of a deer, all demand a feast. The heads of the animals killed at the feast adorn the verandah of the host's house, who in the north sets up a 50ft bamboo in the centre of his yard to commemorate the event. A Chief's house is usually detected by the large bunch of lofty bamboos which stands in front of it' ['The Chin Hills: Vol. I', B. S. Carey and H. N. Tuck, Rangoon, 1896, p.186-89]
