Mon warriors come to dance and honour dead Ang |
| text: |
When I was sitting towards evening in the Longshai morung and while it was getting dark, suddenly a richly decorated group of warriors came out of the dusk. They were Mon people who came to honour the dead Ang of the Ding-don morung and were to dance and beat the drum. This mission is actually connected with a pleasant rite to spear a pig and eat it. The leader was a very young man of the great Ang clan wearing a spectacular headdress. The other men, about fifteen of them, were also mostly quite young. |
