DRESS OF THE MEN. — SANDALS. 
motion, that these threads are seen to separate ; but on the person 
standing still, they immediately resume their proper place, and are 
hardly ever observed out of order. Women of the poorest class, or 
those who care little about personal decoration, do not wear their 
hair dressed in this manner ; but all the rest follow this as the general 
fashion. 
The usual dress of the men consists of no more than three 
articles — the kobo, the pukoje, and the lichdaku : to which may 
sometimes be added, the khuru. 
The kobo, or cloak, is of two sorts, which have already been 
generally described*; and a reference to the different plates of this 
volume, will give a complete idea of all its varieties : sometimes in 
very hot weather, a small leopard-skin is worn instead of the larger 
kinds. Some account of the various skins of which it is made, and 
of the mode of sewing them together, will be found in the following 
pages. 
The pukoje (pookoye) or, 'jackal' requires no further descrip- 
tion in this place f , as its form or size never vary. Sometimes one 
of the corners by which it is tied, is lengthened by a cord which is 
allowed to hang over one hip as low as the knee and is ornamented 
at the end with a few large beads. 
The lichdaku (lecharkoo) or sandals, have been mentioned be- 
fore X ; and by the representation of them at page 380 §, it will not 
be difficult to comprehend the manner in which they are made. 
The soles consist of a single piece of thick hide, generally that of

§ That engraving shows the upper and under sides of two pairs of sandals of different 
makes. In the figure on the right, the leathern straps pass between the great toe and the 
next : in that on the left, they are intended to pass over all the toes. The two small 
intermediate figures are given for the purpose of showing the manner in which the strap, 
which is of a single piece, passes over the foot, (in the figure on the left), and is fastened 
to the two transverse straps which are fixed to the sole. The upper, of these two figures, 
shows the end of one of the transverse straps ; and the lower, the form which the other 
strap takes when fixed into it. Their appearance on the foot may be seen in the engraving 
at page 291., and in the ninth plate of the first volume.
