That just plain rocks!
There is a strict code of sheep-herders, with different levels of mastery depicted by colorfull clothing. Here we see a fine specimen of the 4th order, 3th rank, 7th circle (journeyman (or in this case -woman)). A few more months of training and she will have earned the purple stripes on her skirt!
