The costume consists of waistcloth, necklaces of 3 rows of brown, white and blue beads, ear ornaments of red hair in yellow orchid-stem and two cowrie-shells. Over the cloth is a girdle of 6 rows of blue and yellow beads. She carries a basket-work box containing 'carded' red wool, black and white wool, and a spindle-whorl. Also a stool in left hand. The head is bald. |
