  • Anyu Daik, 70, from a sub-tribe of the Bidayuhs indigenous group, wears a traditional necklace called “Tumbih” in Padawan in the state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. There are currently only five Bidayuh women or “ring ladies” still alive in Malaysia. The women started wearing the yellow copper rings when they were around 10 and have continuously worn them since as they are seen as a sign of beauty and prestige. According to the Bidayuh community, this is a tradition that has been passed down for generations. It is also believed that their ancestors traded with the Chinese and the copper rings were payment for goods procured from the villagers. AFP
