Note 86 — Chapter IX · EXCURSION ROUND THE STRAITS.

“In doors they wear mules, or shoes very low, the rest of the leg being naked; out of doors, and particularly in Andalusia, they wear drawers, long and very neatly folded, to exhibit a fine leg, for their garments only come down to half the leg. They are very particular about their feet, and they have shoes of thin Morocco, very soft, embroidered in silk of different colours. They have for bracelets large manacles of gold and silver, so weighty that those of gold are worth a hundred ducats. They have similar ones above the ankle, which are round, and thicker than the wrist.”—Marmol’s Africa, vol. ii. p. 192.
