| The daily clothing for Mayan women was the
same as many other village people’s clothing. Women wore head cloths to shade
themselves from the burning sun. They wore plain white clothing. For two decades animal
patterns were very popular. A fancy, white apron that covers the skirt were traditional
wedding clothing for women. Women often tattooed the upper part of their body. They wore
their hair parted and worn in a plain braid. |
| Men wore the same plain white cotton clothing
that the women did. A nobleman’s clothing was usually embroidered with very bright
colors. The men also burned their hair to form a bald spot. They traditionally wore their
hair long because short hair was the sign of a criminal. |
