 wore woollen cloaks, and a round woollen 

 cap on the head, and their legs and feet 

 were protected by leather leggings and 

 sandals. 2 A dagger (Figs. 114, 115), at- 

 tached to the girdle in a sheath of wood 

 or leather, and an axe, of one of the three 

 types above, were their constant com- 

 panions sometimes ornamented, as in 

 Fig. 121, with various geometric patterns, 

 either cast or hammered. The face was 

 shaven, and the beard, moustaches, or 

 whiskers were sometimes plucked out.

 into a pyramid sufficiently large, in some 

 cases, to allow of the use of a hair-pin 3

 ful were they of their coiffure, that they 

 are proved, in the lake -dwellings of Switz-

 arranged in sleep. Similar articles are 

 used by the Abyssinian dandies of the 

 present day, and by other African peoples,
