Summary
[edit]DescriptionEgypte – Haywal. (Danseur excentrique habillé en danseuse).jpg |
English: Egypt. Pre-1907. Egypte – Haywal. (Danseur excentrique habillé en danseuse.[1]
A Haywal (or Khawal) was an effeminate male dancer who often performed in public in 19th and early 20th century Egypt. Haywals were known for their acrobatic flexibility and sexually alluring movements. In Edward William Lane’s 1836 book, “An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians”, the author describes Khawals as dancing accompanied by the sound of castanets, with hair grown long and braided in the manner of women and dressed in a tight vest, a girdle and a kind of petticoat. All of these features can be seen in the Khawal pictured. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
