EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the traditional art of making a Fez, also known as a tarboosh, in the 1930s. The Fez is a distinctive felt hat with a tall conical shape and a rounded top, originating from Fez, Morocco, in North Africa. The hat's name comes from the Persian words "sar" (head) and "poosh" (cover). In this image, a skilled craftsman is shown meticulously shaping a Fez using a wooden mould. The hat is made from fine, supple felt, which is first wet and then molded to the desired shape. Once the hat is formed, it is left to dry before being adorned with intricate decorative elements, such as tassels, beads, or embroidery. The Fez has a rich history and was once a symbol of power and prestige in the East Mediterranean region. It was worn by Muslim men as a mark of their faith and cultural identity. The Fez industry was an essential part of Moroccan economy, with many artisans dedicating their lives to perfecting the craft. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the intricacies of a time-honored tradition. It is a reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be found in the simplest of objects, and the enduring connection between people and their cultural heritage.
