Photograph of Mustafa Keleş no. 038

Photograph of Mustafa Keleş (1915-1987). It was taken in 1938 by an anonymous street photographer, with an artificial background unrolled behind the person. Mustafa has a moustache and his hair is so combed as to fall on his right side, a hairstyle known as kahkül or pipi. He wears a white poplin shirt with the collar falling over the collar of his jacket, which is of western style, made of English fabric, with three buttons and three pockets. The lower part of his body is covered with baggy trousers, woven on the loom with white cotton thread; they reach down to the knees, where they meet the black leather knee boots; the boots are of ‘Frankish’ style and show decorative horizontal relief bands.
