Taíno culture: Clothes and more!

Men wore just a loincolth, and married women wore straw, cotton or leaf aprons. On the other hand single women were naked almost all the time.









Both, women and men, used to paint their bodies in black, red, white and yellow. They also decorated their bodies with religious tattoos against evil spirits.



(Taíno symbols they normally used as tattoos)



Taínos also wore jewelry made up of gold, stone, bones or shells.
