Bunun women in full dress 1

NCL Special Collection / 4496 / (N/A) / About 1920s / 《Faces of the Century (Part II)》

The woman wrapped her head with a piece of dark cloth before putting on gold head pieces. Strings of beads hang in front of her chest. The location of the photo is a studio. The picture of the girl on the right was published in Collection of Photos of Taiwan’s Savages, p. 93. (The original caption of the postcard states they are Paiwan women, but judging from their clothes, they should be Bunun women.)
