The Dress of Domari Women of Egypt

[luludi]

I've been assembling a gallery of photos of Domari dress, but some of it is in photographically printed and mechanically printed photos. I don't have access to a scanner so I've also been searching the net. I grabbed this set from a 16 mm British documentary "The Romani Trail: Gypsy Music Into Africa" (1981). The film itself isn't that great. It's dated. The narration is irritating. The picture quality from hand-held 16 mm film cameras is rather like old newsreels. However, if you could turn off the narration and listen to the music and subject dialogue it wouldn't be so bad. I'll post these shots now, cuz they won't be in the final gallery. Feel free to correct me if anything is labeled wrong :-)
