- Description
- The only headdress the women wear is a simple band or string round the head and passing over the forehead. They wear a few strings round their neck occassionaly. Their dress mainly consists of a short knee-length skirt and sometimes a bodice. They sometimes wear a good many copper or brass anklets. Skins are still worn as a covering for the upper part of the body. The men have no special dress, just the usual collection of tattered shirts, shorts and trousers. The implication of the second song is: "Now I am married, I don't know where I'm going to; I may have to sleep any where, perhaps in a tree, perhaps on a stone. Marriage song.
