A group at Agintawa. The man with his back to the camera is shown wearing the usual head-covering made of a worn-out net bag. This picture also shows the bustle of woven orchid bark which forms the rear portion of the men’s costume. A cord extends around the waist from this bustle and is attached to the gourd loin cover which is worn by the men.
