A period narrative: The court, and upper classes of Fezzan dress mostly in the costume of Tripoli; the lower orders wear a large shirt of white or blue cotton, with long loose sleeves, trousers of the same, and sandals of camel's hide; and on Fridays they perhaps add a turban, and appear in yellow slippers. The women plait their hair, often mixing it with black wool; they use great quantities of oil and perfumes; and those who can afford it, load themselves profusely with armlets, anklets, and other ponderous ornaments of gold, silver, copper, iron, ivory, glass, horn, etc., together with cornelians, agates, beads, coral, etcc. Both sexes have a singular custom of stuffing their nostrils with a twisted leaf of onions or clover. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
