1951 Balancing Figures Karen Monkey Moulmein Statues
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in Moulmein, Burma (now Myanmar), in 1951, captures a unique and intriguing scene. The image features a large, precariously balanced rock, poised above a group of Karen girls and monkey statues. The girls, dressed in traditional Karen attire, appear to be in a state of wonder and delight as they gather around the base of the rock, gazing up at it in awe. Surrounding the girls are a number of monkey statues, their stone faces seemingly frozen in expressions of curiosity or amusement. The natural beauty of the setting is further enhanced by the lush greenery and the clear blue sky overhead. The date of this photograph, the 1950s, adds an extra layer of historical interest, transporting us back to a time when Burma was under British colonial rule. The balancing rock, a geological marvel, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. It is unclear how long the rock has been in this position or how it came to be balanced so precariously. The Karen girls and the monkey statues, on the other hand, offer a glimpse into the local culture and traditions of the time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the natural wonders and cultural richness that can be found in even the most unexpected places.
