Eastern Angamis: physique and dress |
| text: |
These remarks on the Western Angamis apply to their brethren of the higher hills, known as Eastern Angamis. The latter are, as a rule, a finer race of men, and of fairer complexion, pink cheeks being very frequently seen among the youth of both sexes. The men keep their hair cut quite short and square over the brows, a long thin tuft being left behind. They wear the kilt and a rather pretty waistbelt, formed of from six to eight ropes of white cotton, all connected at the back with some black and red binding, but tied separately in front, the ends being decorated with some black and scarlet binding. |
