I ‘m not a traditional costume collector but I am very interested about the Kalash history.
This woman's dress (jumlo) has very deep sleeves, and a short skirt with over 450 godets. The upper part of the dress and sleeves are embroidered with red thread in back-stitch and the cuffs and collar are embroidered in chain-stitch. Solar and geometric patterns, connected with pre-Islamic traditions, dominate in ornamentation. Additionally, the dress is decorated with beads, cowrie-shells, coins, buttons, and zippers – sometimes treated as amulets I found it in Ouarzazate (Morocco) ,the previous owner told me that his father a tuareg had brought it 30 or 40 years ago from the Mecca . I would be very pleased to find old pictures before 1950’s or early from this people and hope that some members have knowledge about the Kalash.
