282 THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OP THE MALAYS. 
stead of the surface being wrought into flowers, it is sometimes 
studded with small diamonds. Breast pins are of rare, and 
as the name (pcispin) indicates of very modern, use. The 
undervest, or bodice not quilted, choli,joli, is an Indian article 
of dress very rarely used by Malay women. 
Pockets are not used by women, but some have, on the 
left side of the waist, an imitation on a small scale of the om- 
pau universally worn by Bugis men, and which is similar to 
the sporran of the Scottish highlander. 
The head dress, or sa/enclang f is apiece of coloured cloth, 
about nine feet long and three feet broad, folded on itself and 
thrown over the head and shoulders, two corners being drawn 
in front on one side to the shoulder and there held by the 
hand on that side, so as, when pulled tight over the face, to 
conceal it entirely, while the other hand is interposed on ihe 
other side between the face and the cloth, and constantly em¬ 
ployed in keeping it open, to the extent which the lady consi¬ 
ders proper. The young, when walking in a public place, 
leave only a sufficient opening for the eyes ; the old are less 
scrupulous, and leave the greater part of the face exposed. A 
sarong is very often substituted for the salendang. 
Ladies shoes are unknown to proper Malayan habits, but 
in many places the kasut kodo or slipper, often embroidered, 
is worn. 
The ornaments of the female dress, in addition to the 
brooches already mentioned, are the chucho or pacha sang - 
gol , or hair pins of gold, by which the hair is fastened when 
folded on the head in the shape of a shell, as it generally is. 
The head is usually globe, leaf, or flower shaped, but there 
sometimes rise from it a number of spiral stalks of gold 
wire supporting flowers and leaves which tremble on the 
slightest motion of the head, whence this ornament is called 
ckucho sanggol begintar » Jewels are often set in the centres 
of the flowers. The folds of the hair are also sometimes stud¬ 
ded with golden nails, paku paJcu or paku sanggol, the heads, 
which alone are visible, being neatly figured and the body be¬ 
ing generally of silver. In Naning the hair pin has a large 
head and is called c . founded. The glossy black hair of the Ma¬ 
layan girl is sometimes further adorned by the hunga Hunting, 
a thin zone of gold, two to three inches in length, support¬ 
ing a row of flowers similar to those of the chucho sanggol 
begintar. 
The tali pinding is a band or cincture, by which the sarong 
is fastened round the waist. It is about two inches thick, made 
of cloth, silver, or gold, and fastened in front with ihspinding.
