EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of a veiled Egyptian woman from the bustling streets of Cairo during the 1910s. The woman's face is completely concealed by a black, intricately patterned veil, leaving only her piercing, kohl-lined eyes visible. She wears a long, flowing robe, traditionally known as a burqa or abaya, which is a common attire for Muslim women in North Africa. The veil serves not only as a symbol of modesty and religious observance but also as a protective shield against the harsh desert sun. The woman's hands are adorned with delicate gold bangles and a silver amulet case, hinting at her wealth and social status. A scroll or roll is clutched in her right hand, possibly containing the Quran or other sacred texts. The veil, along with the nose roll and other traditional accessories, adds to the mystery and allure of this enigmatic figure. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the Islamic world, providing a window into the daily lives of Cairene women during this era. The veil, a symbol of both modesty and empowerment, continues to be an integral part of the identity and tradition of Muslim women in Egypt and beyond.
