MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. (427) HE group represented shows the dress of the women of Coorg, and the peculiar and very picturesque head dress, which consists of a gay checked or striped handkerchief tied lightly with the ends hanging behind. With ordinary Hindoos the bodice or under jacket has short sleeves, which do not reach the elbow; but the Coorgs wear the sleeves down to the wrists. The ornaments worn by the mother do not differ from those of other Hindoos—necklaces, ear rings, wrist bangles, and bracelets, with anklets of silver or gold.
