Caption, (left) “Betsimasarka mother and child”; (right) “Hova woman.” “The Hova women wear their hair plaited in extremely fine braids, and tied in a number of small knots or bunches all over the head … . The Betsimasaraka women wear near their hair braided for two or three inches, and then arranged in a sort of circular mass or ball, two or three hanging down on each side” (Ellis, 1888, p. 135).
