Summary

• The dress of the couple is an example of the finery people will choose to wear for a special occasion if they can afford it. The woman is wearing a gold thread boubou, a chain of gold coins as a necklace, and enormous gold earrings. The husband (in white cap) is wearing a typical caftan.
