There are brillant, gaudy, glittering textiles being sold. This is,because the Nomadic women wear them. These proud women wear big skirts of these glittering fabrics, and some black thin shawls over their head. No one would dare tell them to wear a chador. It is a sight to see them swaggering through the bazaar, with their big skirts, head high and fierce eyes. Bravo; I find it exciting, these free women.
