Ouled Naïl Beginning Her Strange Dance of Passion Fair Type of Desert Enchantress

OULED NAÏL BEGINNING HER STRANGE DANCE OF PASSION

FAIR TYPE OF DESERT ENCHANTRESS

Shameless and attractive, and as learned in all the arts of love as Cleopatra, the dancing-girl from the Sahara will perform in the open street, in the pasha's harem, or in the native café. This dancer is beginning her career, and is only about thirteen years of age, for she wears few golden coins Being bred from negress captives by nomad Shawia mountaineers, this Ouled Naïl tribe often produces fine Berber-like offspring, such as this high-prized beauty, decorated in Berber silver-work, golden coins, and many rich bracelets.
