Culture
Jingpo dwellings are usually two stories and built out of wood and bamboo. The houses are of oval form; the first floor serves as a storage and stable while the second is utilized for living quarters. Women often dress in black jackets with silver decorations. They also wear wool skirts made in bright colors. The men often wear black and wide pants, covering their heads with turbans: the youths with white turbans and the adults with black turbans.
