Logdrum at Longpha

B&W photographic print. 'The log drum at Longpha, a village of the Chongli group. The drum, or more correctly, Iog-gong, is made of a huge hollowed out trunk and the front of it is carved to represent a face. It stands open to the elements, so presumably its drum house is being constructed.'
