Summary

Description
English: Watercolour with pen and ink of a portrait of Ma Mi (မမိ), Daughter of the Native Magistrate of Prome. Grant wrote that Mameet and her sister, who is also portrayed in the album, were: 'daughters of the Tseekay, or native Magistrate, of Prome and are believed to be very characteristic of the gentler looking and prettier race of the Talines, or Peguers...Mameet, the elder, about 17 years of age, was more particularly pleasing and winning...She wore a profuse necklace of pearls (real or artificial), about twenty rows of which extended from the neck to the waist, whilst small rows of pearls and rubies encircled the throat, and rings ornamented the fingers...Mameet was married to a Mogul; and with several other sisters...visited the steamers under no other guide or protectorship than that of their intelligent and loquacious mother, and a troop of female attendants.'
