in the village ... wistful

the cosmetic paste on this little girl's cheeks and nosetip is made from the bark of a tree known locally as thanaka

it feels cool on the skin and is worn as a sunscreen by many women, girls and young boys

 

taken in 2011 fairly close to old bagan, mandalay region in the golden land aka myanmar, formerly burma
