BRED TO ARMS FROM INFANCY |
THE GARB OF HIS ANCESTORS |
|
| This small Circassian lad is a miniature replica of his father, his white parade uniform being complete in every detail, with tiny dagger, cartridge-cases, and fittings and trimmings of Caucasian silver | The chief feature of this ceremonial costume, the "kuladja," which is now only seen at public festivals in Georgia, is the gold or silver dagger, which gives an added touch of richness to the crimson velvet jacket |
