Ramallah woman[edit]

Original - Woman in Ramallah traditional costume, c. 1898-1914.
Reason
A high quality ethnographic image that displays the traditional apparel of Ramallah. Photographic detail is so fine that it's possible to discern some of the individual stitches on this elaborately embroidered costume. Restored version of Image:Ramallah woman.jpg

  • Support per nom - ridiculously high rez with no glaring flaws. Two questions: 1, is the subject still alive and objects to her likeness displayed here and 2, are such outfits worn today when a color image could be taken? The answers are probably both no, but I just thought I should check.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 13:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support; since the word 'ridiculous' has already been used, I am forced to say this has a ludicrous amount of detail. --Golbez (talk) 23:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
