New items in the Pre-Golden Era in Egypt Collection
I am truly proud to present these new items in the Bellydance museum. Three original antique, late 19th century photographs by Gabriel Lekegian, and one by Zangaki brothers! Truly beautiful, the prints are as large as A4. Also, I list the late 19th stereoscope I use for viewing stereoviews, and antique Egyptian finger cymbals from the period of WWI.
