plump, well-rounded forms, which they
clothe In long gowns OF white linen,
so beautifully embroidered In silk that
one dress requires many months work.
The main part OF their costume Is much
like a lady's nightgown without frills
or lace. The gown falls to the feet
being open at the front in narrow
slit. Over the gown they wear sleeve

cover their heads with shawls OF linen

necklaces OF coins and headdress,
which is decorated with coins of silver
