| Summary: |
B&W photographic print. 'Their spears are elaborately decorated with tufts of dyed goat hair. Their ear ornaments are probably of human hair. They are photographed in the garden of Mills' bungalow, as are many of the other Naga portraits in these albums. He had a constant stream of visitors, both from within and beyond the administered part of the Naga Hills, and Mills often seized the chance to record them for posterity.' |
