Large Medium SmallBurma: Kayan tribes like long necks
Women of the Kayan tribes in Burma are well known for wearing neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck, appearing to lengthen it. The women wearing these coils are known as "giraffe women" to tourists. Girls first start to wear rings when they are around 10. Over the years the coil is replaced by a longer one and more turns are added.
