Here are two Kuna Indian women that were walking through the village with "lunch." I think that the lady on the left was not married - but the lady on the right was. Just my observation - but it seems that they married ladies dress in the more traditional Kuna atire while the unmarried did not do so.

Notice the Mola the lady on the right has across her midsection. Kunas are famous for their brightly colored Molas. Also, notice the wrappings around the lower legs. They are brightly colored threaded beads that wrap around each leg. I do not know the purpose they serve other than ornamental beauty.
