500        |a This photograph is part of album G. All the photographs in this album are of Lhotas and were taken in 1919, when Mills was based at Mokokchung, and engaged in writing The Lotha (Lhota) Nagas, published in 1922. Many of the images appear in that book. At this time the tribe numbered about 20,000, occupying the area of the Lower Doyang river, and bordered to the south by the Western Rengmas, to the north-east by the Aos, the south-east the Semas and the plains of Assam on the western side.

520 3    |a A Lotha (Lhota) warrior in full dress. He wears a "sweat-wig" of bear's fur and two hornbill feathers, showing he has participated in two head-taking ceremonies. Hanging down his back is the skull of the Great Indian Hornbill, symbolic of wealth, showing that he has undertaken a stone dragging ceremony. Worn on the hip, supported by two hair fringed baldricks across the chest, is the panji basket and great curved "tail", which has a long fringe of human hair. Panjis are sharpened bamboo spikes stuck in the ground to deter pursuit. Slung across his chest is the "enemy's teeth", a flat piece of wood covered with plaited red cane, cowrie shells representing teeth and a fringe of red hair symbolising blood pouring out of the victim's mouth. His broad apron is covered with rows of cowrie shells, as are his hair fringed wristlets. He carries a dao, and a spear ornamented with goat's hair.
