The human-headed maskers wore red and figured gowns respectively,
heavy ankle-rattles, and carried horsetail switches. The red gown
had cowries down the back seam and edges - the figured gown was
more elaborately embroidered with cowries. The one with a black
mask also had a porcupine quill sticking out of the underlip of
the mask. Both had chains of white beads hanging from the sides
of the masks. Round the base of the black mask worn by the wearer
of the figured gown, were two rows of cowries - the faces of both
dancers were covered with greyish netting.
