It was worth watching to the end to see the appearance of the guest dancer. I echo the comment about the rug. V

I believe these men are carrying khanjars, a traditional curved dagger. Collectors items all. Another fine image, Helen. Vote.

A swell candid shot of the dancers. It is amazing the rug that they are standing on. It has the same appearance of Navajo rugs made in NM and AZ. The size is amazing to me. I can't image the loom that was used to produced this size. Great captured. V.
