A reddish-brown scarf or belt of the same material fastened it around the waist.

Feet, arms, and the left shoulder were bare.

The belt was ornamented with black and white stitches; from each ear hung a turquoise suspended by a cotton thread, and a necklace of coloured pebbles strung on yucca fibre encircled the neck.

His gaze was fixed on the opposite bank, where a youngster was kneeling.
The latter was a boy of perhaps nine years.
