EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases three Syrian women adorned in their traditional costumes. The women's outfits are a stunning display of intricate embroidery, vibrant colors, and elegant designs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Syria. The first woman wears a long, flowing robe called a thobe, which is often worn by Syrian women. The thobe is adorned with intricate embroidery and beading, and is typically paired with a long, flowing headscarf called a shawl or hijab. The woman's face is covered with a veil, which is a common practice in traditional Syrian culture. The second woman wears a similar thobe, but her headpiece is a more elaborate, tall headdress called a makroutah. This headdress is made of layers of fabric, often adorned with intricate embroidery and beading. It is secured to the head with a series of pins and is a symbol of wealth and status. The third woman wears a shorter, more fitted version of the thobe, called a qamis. Her headpiece is a smaller, simpler version of the hijab, which covers only the hair and leaves the face exposed. This style of dress and headpiece is more commonly worn in urban areas of Syria. The Syrian people have a long and proud history, and their traditional costumes are a testament to their rich cultural heritage. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of these women and the traditions they held dear.
