Clothing
The traditional attire of the Truku people is predominantly fashioned from linen, with wool and cotton also being viable materials. The intricate process of crafting garments, accessories, or bedding involves several stages, including spinning, bleaching, and warping. Subsequently, the tribe's women skillfully weave flax in diverse colors, primarily encompassing shades of green, yellow, red, black, and white as a foundational palette. Typically, men's attire consists of a sleeveless square jacket featuring a breast pocket. This square garment system incorporates long strips sewn into white ramie cloth. Two straps are affixed to both ends of the upper edge of the breast pocket, alongside two others on each side, facilitating fastening behind the neck and back. Chiefs and warriors distinguish themselves with shell clothes adorned with cylindrical shell ornaments. Women's common attire comprises a black headdress embellished with colorful diamond shapes, a vivid blue top, and a black skirt, secured with two strips around the breast and waist. Additionally, women have two black leggings on their calves and ankles. While variations in technique, style and texture exist across regions, the Truku people universally incorporate geometric lines and rhombus patterns as shared symbols aligned with their beliefs. Horizontal lines symbolize the path leading to the spiritual bridge, while the diamond pattern represents the ancestral spirit's vigilant eye, signifying protection. ==See also==
