The hue of their skin is a shade darker than that of the Chinese, but they have fairer com- plexions than the Malays and Javanese. The dress of both males and females consists of a piece of cloth wrapped round the waist, one end being brought between the legs and fastened behind, which gives this portion of their attire the appearance of a pair of inexpressibles. In addi- tion to the above-mentioned dr...apery, the women wear a piece of cloth wrapped round the body, under the arms ; but the men content themselves with the nether garment before described, not even those belonging to the higher classes cum- Hosted by Google STRANGE COIFFURE. 167 bering the upper part of the body with a single particle of clothing, except upon state occasions.
Both men and women have the hair shaved from their heads, with the exception of a small round patch which is left between the crown and the forehead. This being brushed up, is made to stand on end, which gives them a scared appear- ance.
