| Ordinarily the only garments of the primitive
Hopi woman were an undyed cotton robe, which passed under the
left arm and was fastened above the right shoulder, the edges
overlapping at the right side, and an embroidered belt. Arms
and lower legs were bare. On special occasions women wore deerskin
moccasins, to which were attached white leggings of the same
material, each consisting of half of a large skin, which was
wrapped round the calf like a thick bandage. |
