~ Clad Kajir ~ |
|
|
|
This includes four pieces:
Chatka, Curla, Kalmak, and Koora
Slave attire amongst the Wagon Peoples almost universally comes in one form, that of a single outfit comprised of four pieces; one of red cloth, another a red cord, and two of black leather. This form of dress is known as "Clad Kajir". |

|
|
|
Chatka:
a long narrow strip of leather about six inches by five feet long which is normally black, brought up between the legs and secured by the curla at the waist, the excess leather folding over the curla at the front and back, and fitting like a breechcloth |
|
|
|
Curla:
a red cord that is worn about the waist as a belt, securing the chatka |
|
|
|
|
Kalmak:
a short open, sleeveless black leather vest |
|
|
|
|
|
Koora:
a strip of red cloth matching the curla worn as a headband to tie a slave's hair back |

Among the Wagon Peoples, to be Clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak is then donned; it is a short sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the Koora, a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the Koora, worn loose. For a male slave or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be Clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather.

The red cord, or Curla, was knotted about my waist, tightly, the knot, a slip knot, might be loosened with a single tug over my left hip. Over the Curla in the front, slipping under the body and between the legs, and passing over the Curla in the back, was the Chatka, or narrow strip of black leather, some six inches in width, some five feet or so in length; it was drawn tight; when a girl wears the Curla and Chatka, the brand, whether on left or right thigh, is fully visible, for the inspection of masters. I also wore a brief, open, sleeveless vest of black leather, the Kalmak. I wore a broad Koora, which, kerchieflike, covered most of my head.
