Abstract:
Mongsemdi, or Mongsenyimti, is now a Chongli village, but the Mongsem first occupied the site. A woman is seated on a low stool on her sitting-out platform, de-seeding cotton. A man and a boy are weaving baskets, a task reserved exclusively for males. Various other types of basket can be seen in the picture. Behind the man is the woven screen used for closing the door at night. ( en )

General Note:
This photograph is part of album K. Many of the images of this album are published in "The Ao Nagas" 1926. Mongsen andChongli are two groups of the Ao, speaking their own dialect and following their own customs. At the time these photographs were taken some villages could contain khels of these separate groups, each khel knowing the other's language but speaking its own. This was often very inconvenient, so a village might decide to speak the same dialect, even though Mongsen or Chongli customs continued to be differentiated among the inhabitants. There were also, of course, villages which were purely Mongsen or Chongli.
