EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Khas-Kaseng tribesmen from the Attapeu Province in southern Laos, circa 1908. The Khas-Kaseng people are an indigenous ethnic group residing primarily in the southeastern regions of Laos and Vietnam. They are known for their distinctive neck rings, which are worn as a symbol of their cultural identity and social status. The image showcases a group of men, some adorned with the intricately woven neck rings, gathered together in what appears to be a communal setting. Their traditional clothing, consisting of loose-fitting shirts and trousers, adds to the authentic portrayal of their tribal heritage. The lush greenery and natural surroundings in the background further emphasize the connection between the Khas-Kaseng people and their environment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these indigenous tribesmen during the early 1900s, a time when the region was undergoing significant change due to European colonial influence. Despite the encroachment of modernity, the Khas-Kaseng people continued to maintain their unique customs and traditions, such as the wearing of neck rings, which have become a symbol of their rich cultural heritage. This photograph is an important reminder of the diverse and vibrant indigenous communities that exist in Southeast Asia and the importance of preserving their cultural identities. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of these communities in the face of external influences.
