Two young women dressed in Greek Cypriot traditional costumes were photographed while performing the traditional 'Antikiristos' dance. The woman on the left is dressed in the 'Amalia' type costume while the one on the right is wearing the costume with sayia. The 'Amalia' type costume that was linked with the name of Amalia, Queen of Greece (1836-1862), and was established in urban centres in Cyprus by the mid 19th century as a variation of the Greek national costume. It is made up of a dress or skirt above a silk chemise and a felt or velvet jacket, the sarka, with gold ornamentation. The waist was girded by a belt with a filigree clasp or a tied sash with embroidered ends. The head was covered with scarves or, in the urban original, with a fez. The Cypriot fez, which was different from the one used in Greece, had two black silk tassels, a short one which was fixed to the crown and covered the whole cap in a radial pattern, and another one falling to the shoulder on the side. The fez was decorated with garlands of flowers made of tiny pearls and braided with silk.  The sayia, a long-sleeved coat open down the front, was worn over pantaloons decorated with woven embroidery. On her waist, thh woman on the right, she tied a colourful headscarf.
