“Only silversmiths display jewelry in lands of the Veil: Moslem women love bright baubles, but hide them from view when in public. Anklets are both seen and heard; but bracelets, belts, earrings, and amulets only sound their presence. From one end of Asia to the other, there are large numbers of native workers in precious metals.”
—From “Afghanistan Makes Haste Slowly,” December 1933, National Geographic magazine
