520 3 |a Gaonbura (government's post or 'headman') poses in full dance dress in Mills' garden. He wears a body cloth of a pattern which signifies that he has done the full series of mithun sacrifices, like his father (Süvangsü). The head-dress is a circlet of bear's fur decorated with hornbill feathers, the number indicating the sacrifices he has completed and the Government expeditions in which he has taken part. His ears bear huge pads of cotton wool. Below the knees he wears finely woven red cane leggings decorated with yellow orchid stem, and hollow brass anklets with lead balls inside them which rattle as he dances. (Ungma is a village of the Chongli language group)
