. Bulletin. Ethnology. 432 SOUTH AJVIERICAN INDIANS [ Bull. 143. Figure 52.—Gimrayu traps, a, For large rodents and armadillos; b, for pigeons. (Redrawn from Nordenskiold, 1924 b, figs. 19, a, h.) The ancient Giiarani multiple-family house, which was still used in the 16th century, has been replaced among the modern Guarayii by a single- family dwelling with an octagonal ground plan and wattle-and-daub walls and among the Pauserna by open sheds. The main pieces of furniture are platforms on which food is stored, cotton hammocks, benches for men, and mats for women. DRESS AND ORNAMENTS Gnarayu men adopted the long, bark-cloth tunic, characteristic of the Mojo area, but women wore only a skirt. In religious ceremonies, people went naked, as formerly. The ornaments were: Feather diadems, feather frontlets, labrets, feather-trimmed sticks passed through the nasal septum, tufts of feathers in the ear lobes, necklaces, and bracelets of aguai fruits. The ancient Gnarayu also glued feathers to their bodies. They painted themselves with genipa and urucu. Among the ancient Guarayu, women incised their faces, arms, and legs, and rubbed genipa.
