  times 
  worn 
  instead 
  of 
  sandals, 
  but 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  about 
  their 
  shape 
  or 
  

   manufacture. 
  Poma 
  illustrates 
  a 
  pair 
  on 
  the 
  feet 
  of 
  a 
  chief 
  from 
  Col- 
  

   lasuyo 
  (1936, 
  p. 
  169), 
  and 
  occasional 
  specimens 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  

   graves 
  on 
  the 
  Coast. 
  Moccasins 
  are 
  still 
  made 
  and 
  worn 
  in 
  the 
  Prov- 
  

   ince 
  of 
  Chumpivilcas 
  and 
  elsewhere, 
  and 
  would 
  make 
  an 
  interesting 
  

   study.

  Montell,

  pp. 
  209-211.) 
  The 
  Inca 
  wore 
  

   fringed 
  leg 
  bands 
  below 
  the 
  knees 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  ankles, 
  but 
  no 
  other 
  leg 
  

   covering 
  (Poma, 
  1936, 
  pp. 
  110, 
  157). 
  

  

  Knitted 
  caps 
  were 
  worn 
  in 
  ancient 
  times 
  only 
  by 
  the 
  Aymara. 
  

   Most 
  other 
  Highland 
  Indians 
  bound 
  their 
  hair 
  either 
  with 
  a 
  specially 
  

   woven 
  band 
  or 
  braid 
  (lyawt'o) 
  or 
  with 
  a 
  sling. 
  The 
  Emperor's 
  band, 
  

   about 
  % 
  inch 
  (5mm.) 
  thick 
  and 
  }{ 
  to 
  1 
  inch 
  (1 
  to 
  2 
  cm.) 
  wide, 
  was 
  wrapped 
  

   many 
  times 
  around 
  the 
  head, 
  forming 
  a 
  sort 
  of 
  head 
  band 
  or 
  Durban 
  

   about 
  2 
  inches 
  (5 
  or 
  6 
  cm.) 
  wide. 
  The 
  curious 
  gold 
  crown 
  rep 
  1 
  esented 
  

   in 
  certain 
  late 
  "por 
  traits 
  of 
  the 
  Incas" 
  derives 
  from 
  a 
  misunder- 
  

   standing 
  of 
  earlier 
  representations 
  of 
  a 
  yellow 
  lyawt'o. 
  The 
  

   lyawt'o 
  was 
  not 
  an 
  insignia 
  of 
  royalty, 
  but 
  a 
  headdress 
  commonly 
  

   worn 
  by 
  the 
  men 
  of 
  many 
  tribes 
  in 
  Peru. 
  Neither 
  was 
  it 
  a 
  fringe. 
  

   The 
  symbols 
  of 
  royalty 
  were 
  ornaments 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  lyawt'o 
  and 
  

   supported 
  by 
  it: 
  a 
  fringe 
  or 
  series 
  of 
  tassels 
  worn 
  in 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  

   forehead, 
  and 
  a 
  pompom 
  on 
  a 
  small 
  stick 
  worn 
  above 
  it. 
  (See 
  Pol- 
  

   itical 
  Organization, 
  p. 
  258.) 
  Confusion 
  of 
  the 
  lyawt'o 
  with 
  the 
  fringe 
  

   is 
  common 
  in 
  modern 
  literature. 
  

  

  Women's 
  garments. 
  — 
  Inca 
  women 
  wore 
  a 
  long 
  dress, 
  bound 
  at 
  

   the 
  waist 
  by 
  a 
  wide 
  sash, 
  and 
  a 
  mantle 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  worn 
  by 
  the 
  

   men. 
  The 
  dress 
  was 
  a 
  rectangular 
  piece 
  of 
  cloth 
  wound 
  around 
  the 
  

   body 
  under 
  the 
  arms 
  with 
  the 
  edges 
  overlapping 
  on 
  one 
  side, 
  and 
  the 
  

   top 
  edges 
  were 
  pulled 
  up 
  and 
  fastened 
  with 
  straight 
  pins 
  over 
  the 
  

   shoulders. 
  The 
  skirt 
  came 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  ankles. 
  The 
  sash 
  was 
  often 
  

   decorated 
  with 
  square 
  heraldic 
  patterns 
  like 
  those 
  on 
  men's 
  tunics. 
  

   A 
  large 
  mantle, 
  worn 
  over 
  the 
  dress, 
  was 
  thrown 
  over 
  the 
  shoulders 
  

   and 
  fastened 
  on 
  the 
  chest 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  decorative 
  metal 
  pin 
  (tuptj) 
  

   (pi. 
  79, 
  a, 
  b); 
  it 
  hung 
  down 
  behind 
  to 
  about 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  calf. 
  

   The 
  pin 
  was 
  of 
  gold, 
  silver, 
  or 
  copper, 
  with 
  the 
  head 
  beaten 
  out 
  flat 
  

   and 
  perforated 
  for 
  small 
  bells 
  or 
  colored 
  threads. 
  The 
  round 
  or 
  semi- 
  

   circular 
  head 
  had 
  edges 
  sharp 
  enough 
  to 
  be 
  used 
  as 
  a 
  household 
  knife. 
  

   These 
  pins, 
  made 
  in 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  sizes, 
  are 
  very 
  common 
  inarcheological 
  

   collections. 
  

  

  Women's 
  sandals 
  were 
  like 
  men's. 
  

  

  Women 
  bound 
  their 
  hair 
  with 
  a 
  woven 
  band 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  lyawt'o 
  

   but 
  passing 
  around 
  the 
  head 
  only 
  once. 
  In 
  addition, 
  they 
  covered 
  

   their 
  hair 
  with 
  a 
  square 
  of 
  fine 
  cloth 
  folded 
  lengthwise 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  

   times 
  and 
  laid 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  so 
  that 
  one 
  end 
  came 
  above 
  the 
  forehead 
  

   and 
  the 
  other 
  hung 
  down 
  the 
  back.
