| A Mongol. The Wutai area, with its Lamaist temples,
was a popular pilgrimage for devout Mongols, who came long distances,
sometimes bringing their parents for burial here. This photograph
brings to mind Blofeld’s description of a similar person
some thirty years later: “A richly clad Mongol layman,
with an enormous circular fur hat cocked rakishly on one side
to display the yellow satin crown, stood languidly staring at
me with a half smile upon his lips.” |
