She is wearing a blouse and skirt made of finely tanned deer hide. The Caddo knew how to specially treat the skins to make them very soft and to turn a deep black color. Notice how the blouse and skirt are fringed, with beads attached to the edge. The woman also has tattoos, just like the men, as well as long pendant earrings made of shell.
