The Mayan Traditional Clothing

                Mayan traditional clothing is very different from what we wear today. Mayans usually wore clothing that symbolized things. For Example, the clothing worn by the Mayan depended on the region they lived in and their social status. The wealthy wore colorful clothing made from animal skins. They also wore feather headdresses and fancy jewelry. However, the poor wore something completely different.The children were naked, and men wore loincloths, adding tunics, or skirts, and cloaks in weather. The dress of woman was more variable back then. Mayan women more skirts with or without a scarf tied to cover their breasts. During the cold, both women and men would use a blanket called "the manta" to wrap around their shoulders to keep themselves warm. A traditional clothing sort of type of thing was that men and women both wore their hair long. Once they were married, both mean and women often got tattoos.
