Multi-generational Kayan Lahwi peasant family portrait. The grand mother is wearing the traditional brass neck coils and clothing, which the youger women have decided not to put on any more. The Long Neck Kayan (also called Padaung in Burmese) are a sub-group of the Karen ethnic from Burma. They wear spiral coils around their neck and lower legs.They are also nicknamed "giraffe women“. The neck itself is not lengthened; the appearance of a stretched neck is created under the pressure of the collar, the ribs lower and the shoulders and clavicles collapse.

Die Long Neck Kayan (auf burmesisch auch Padaung genannt) sind eine Untergruppe der Karen aus Burma. Sie tragen spiralförmige Windungen um den Hals und die Unterschenkel und werden auch als 'Giraffenfrauen' bezeichnet. Der Hals selbst ist nicht verlängert; das Aussehen eines gestreckten Halses entsteht unter dem Druck des Kragens, die Rippen senken sich und die Schultern und Schlüsselbeine fallen zusammen.
