The Zuni Community Project

Grandmother and child. A Zuni womans' traditional clothes are a colorful dress hemmed below the knee, with long sleeves and lacy decorations around the bottom. On top of this is a Manta. This is a black woven material designed to go over one shoulder. Large turquoise pins are worn on the right shoulder and side of the skirt of the manta. Around the waist is a colorful woven sash belt. White moccasins are worn with white leather leg wraps. Ear rings, a fine squash blossom necklace, bracelets and rings are also worn. Her long hair is tied in an elongated knot at the back of the neck wrapped in fabric.
