Kilt terms in anthropology

[beloitpiper]

It wasn't a gourd was it...?

That's pretty cool. I wonder how many other cultures have sporran-like pouches and so on.

Actaully, they weren't pouches, just hanging straw used for decoration...just like military sporrans

Any tribes in New Guinea wearing trousers?

Now there are! But originally, most of the went nude most of the time. Only in rituals or important functions would they dress up and decorate themselves.
