| 500 | |a This photograph is part of album E. Like the albums A to D, this album contains photographs taken in the Konyak country in 1923. J.P. Mills was travelling with J.H. Hutton in April and October, but probably without him in August. This album mainly contains photographs taken during a punitive expedition in April 1923 to the Konyak village of Yungya, certain inhabitants of which had carried out a head-hunting raid on Kamahu. J.P. Mills was Assistant Commissioner, Mokokchung at this time. He accompanied J.H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, who was his superior and therefore wrote the official Tour Diary for the expedition. The military escort ot Gurkhas was commanded by Captain W.B.S. Shakespear. The Konyak tribe lived in the northern part of the Naga Hills. To the west the Konyaks bordered the Assam plains and the Ao Nagas; on the south-east were the Phoms, and on the east the Singphos of Burma. At the time of these photographs much of their country was unadministered and little known and some of the villages visited during this expedition had never before been seen by Europeans. | ||

They wear many bead necklaces and chest ornaments of brass, imitating cut conch shell, indicating their head-taking status. They carry baskets on the left hip, possibly head-takers' baskets. The man on the left carries his dao. Their richly patterned and fringed loin cloths reach to below the knee, one being decorated with two brass discs.
