Burma Padaung Giraffe Woman
The "Giraffe Women" of eastern Burma's Kayan Lahwi tribe (also known as Padaung) are a minority ethnic group that is well known for wearing neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck, appearing to lengthen it. In reality, the weight of the coils pushes down the muscles around the collarbone and compresses the rib cage - meaning their necks appear longer than they are.
