Garment of Triumph
The photo shows the back of the garment, but seen from the front, this garment of triumph is double-breasted, sleeveless, and short. Two pieces of interwoven cloth have been sewn together to make this garment. Both front and back are red, and the inside of the garment is brown. Both sides and the middle of the back are decorated with human hairs to emphasize the warrior’s courageous hunting.
