A YOUNG ILONGOT WOMAN 



The Ilongot women show great ingenuity in their dress considering the fact that they belong to a tribe so primitive 

 that they are unable to count beyond ten. They embroider with surprising skill, and fashion elaborate necklaces and girdles 

 of cowries strung on colored cloth. Bells are greatly prized by both men and women and are worn at the girdle or hanging 

 from the necklace. Head ornaments of white horse hair are their passion and they will go to any length to obtain the 

 coveted material, which they use very tastefully as can be seen from the picture.
