description B&W photographic print. 'Chingmei village. Two Chang warriors, one of whom, the son of Chingmak (on left), had already taken eight heads by the age of 25. The boar's tusks on his cane hat and the tassels on his shield proclaim his status. He was the leader of the six scouts who guided and protected the expedition between Chingmei and their destination, Pangsha. The image has been made into a Christmas card from Haimendorf to Mills.'
