This is a woman's bead decorated soft goatskin cape. It is made of goatskin and worn under one arm and tied over the shoulder of the other arm leaving the working arm free. The cloaks have much less bead decoration than the women's skirts. They are rubbed with fat and red ochre and are prepared in a similar way to goatskin garments.
