| Summary: |
These Nyishi men are sitting on a porch in the settlement of Jorum, only a two or three hour walk from the Apatani valley : although the context is unclear, their dress and the bamboo pieces lying in front of the man on the right indicate that a negotiation is going on : During a negotiation, these bamboo pieces are picked up, amid lengthy speeches, and placed cross-wise on the long piece of wood in order to enumerate grievances and/or demands : the amiable atmosphere suggests that this may be a marriage negotiation : Both men wear the traditional cane hat, hair style knot with skewer, earrings metal rings hanging from wooden discs in the lobes, set of necklaces, band of cane below the knee and thick cane belt : the older man on the right also wears the red jacket given by the government to 'village headmen.' |
