Vol. 3) THE WITOTOAN TRIBES—STEWARD 753

Figure 104.—Witoto house. (After Crevaux, 1891.)
Household equipment consists of rough wooden stools, usually made
of a split log, fire fans, palm-leaf brooms, pots, etc. Mats are said
to be recent.
Some villages are protected by shallow trenches embedded with poisoned
stakes.

DRESS AND ORNAMENTS
Witotoan women are characteristically nude, while men, as among the
Tucano to the north, wear a bark-cloth breechclout after the age of 5 or
6 years (pis. 85, 86, 87). Other attire consists of ornaments: ear plugs,
nose sticks both in the septum and alae, necklaces, armlets, and leg bands
or ligatures. For festivals, men are adorned with elaborate feather head-
dresses, but women wear dance girdles and glue bird down on their
bodies. Leg rattles are also used. Teeth are blackened for esthetic pur-
poses and as protection against "worms." There is a little tattooing but
more body painting, colors being black (genipa), red (bixa), yellow
(clay or pollen), and white (pi. 88). The hair was formerly worn long
and groomed with a composite comb; beards and women's eyebrows are
plucked by applying a sticky sap. Head deformation is not reported.
No item of attire seems to be a badge of status, except that men vaunt
their hunting and fighting ability by wearing necklaces of animal and
human teeth. Farabee, however, states that chiefs wear two extra labrets.

TRANSPORTATION
Burdens are transported in carrying baskets or by means of a bark- cloth tumpline.
