Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Tunisian Womanhoods's ornamental cham.
Gold coins inherited from ancestresses deck the headdress of young Tunisian women, while a wealth of barbaric ornaments is suspended over the bosom. Tattooed marks disfigure their otherwise pleasing faces; often a tattooed cross may be seen, which some aver, though the meaning no longer exists, was the sign whereby the converts, when Christianity across North Africa, proclaimed their faith. Français : "Le cham ornemental de la femme tunisienne.
Des pièces d'or héritées des aïeules ornent la coiffe des jeunes Tunisiennes, tandis qu'une foule d'ornements barbares sont suspendus sur la poitrine. Des marques tatouées défigurent leurs visages par ailleurs agréables ; on peut souvent voir une croix tatouée, dont certains affirment, bien que la signification n'existe plus, qu'elle était le signe par lequel les convertis, lorsque le christianisme traversait l'Afrique du Nord, proclamaient leur foi." |
