Arab Wedding Ball Described In Algerian Tent

A traveler notes a wedding ball in Algéria with a veiled bride among women, four to five hundred onlookers, and two guards wielding swords to keep space for dancing. A central dancer, harsh featured yet expressive eyes, unfolds in long robes as others follow a similar, graceless style amid charms, henna stained hands, and a swinging mirror amulet. The scene includes a band of two instrumentalists and a drummer, and the dance spurs occasional blows from a feared weapon as tension rises.
