Young Padaung Women in Ywama
Young Padaung Women in Ywama

The Padaung are an ethnic minority in Myanmar, distinguished by brass rings worn on the necks of women. The rings push the clavicle down and compress the rib cage, giving the impression that the neck is lengthened. These young women were working in a textile workshop in Ywama, located on the western side of Inle Lake near its southern end.

Inle Lake lies at an elevation of 884 m (2,900 ft.) 425 km (264 mi.) north of Yangon in Shan State, Myanmar. Covering an area of some 116 sq. km (44.8 sq. mi.), its depth ranges from 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) during the dry season (November to April) to 3.7 m (12 ft.) during the rainy season (May to October). The lake was included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2015. In 2018, it was designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.
