Predawn Fabric Haggling in West African Market Lane

by Edith Armstrong

Firelight warmth glows against the predawn darkness of a narrow market lane in Jisr ash-Shughur, illuminating dust motes suspended in the dry season fog. A woman stands beside a low wooden stall draped with bolts of indigo and ochre fabric, her hands gesturing toward the merchant who leans forward in conversation. The rough texture of the woven cloth contrasts with the smooth, shadowed faces of the two figures. Long shadows stretch across the packed earth floor, cast by the flickering oil lamps that dot the lane. Stacks of dried gourds rest on the ground nearby, their pale surfaces dim in the low light. at the edge shows a thread of gold trim catching the firelight on the edge of a folded textile.
