Afghanistan

1933

Maynard Owen Williams

"Only silversmiths display jewelry in lands of the Veil: Moslem women
love bright baubles, but hide them from view when in public. Anklets
are both seen and heard; but bracelets, belts, earrings, and amulets
only sound their presence. From one end of Asia to the other, there are
large numbers of native workers in precious metals."

--From "Afghanistan Makes Haste Slowly," December 1933, National
Geographic magazine

Gallery--Faces of Afghanistan [13]
