Nothing was worn either upon the head or upon the feet.

The thick hair, carried in large waves from the forehead to the back of the head, and then carefully arranged in three, four, or five rows of stiff curls, was regarded as a sufficient protection both from sun and rain.
No head-covering was ever worn, except by soldiers, and by certain officials, as the king, priests, and musicians.

Sometimes, if the hair was very luxuriant, it was confined by a band or fillet, which was generally tied behind the back of the head.

The beard was worn long, and arranged with great care, the elaboration being pretty nearly the same in the case of the king and of the common laborer.

Laborers of a rank a little above the lowest wore sandals, indulged in a fringed tunic, and occasionally in a phillibeg, while a still higher class had a fringed tunic and phillibeg, together with the close-fitting trouser and boot worn by soldiers.
