The women nowadays generally wear sandals of the usual Mexican cowhide pattern, like the men; but there is ample evidence to prove that such was not the case in former times.
The people are, for Indians, not especially fond of ornaments, and it is a peculiar fact that mirrors have no special attraction for them.

They do not like to look at themselves.

The women often wear ear-ornaments made of triangular pieces of shell attached to bead strings, or deck themselves with strings of glass beads, of which the large red and blue ones are favourites; and necklaces made from the seed of the _Coix Lachryma-Jobi_ are used by both sexes, chiefly for medicinal purposes.

The men wear only single strings of these seeds, while the necklaces of the women are wound several times around the neck.

The shaman, or medicine-man--a priest and doctor combined--is never without such a necklace when officiating at a feast.
