Description: 
Group photograph taken in the fields, probably in the 1950s. A man dressed in European costume is seated on a mule, and on a second mule, next to him, a village girl in a white dress tied at the waist, and a headscarf (yemeni) bordered with lace. She wears front lace shoes, without stockings. Two men stand, one on either side of the mules; they wear the traditional everyday Turkish Cypriot dress, consisting of white woven shirts and white breeches (dizlik). Around their waists they have tarabulus kuşak, and their heads are covered with a cloth (kulak çapıdı) wrapped in a different way in each case. The one on the right of the photograph holds a stick and is wearing leather top boots tied under the knees; the other wears black stockings and flat shoes.
