I think it's some kind of butter.

And no, our ancestors were au natural, they preferred afro's and these sort of styles.

Aasli are you another nomad fan like me ? :geek: I love everything about the nomad culture, lifestyle, attire etc etc, just looking at those pictures makes me smile, the equipment/tools/weapons, I absolutely love it all. :geek:

you know I'm thinking about collecting all these things in the future, when I get my own home, and then display them in my living and dinning room. :geek:

Yes, and I've had several nomad fantasies to prove it. :oops:

But yeah you should defiantly start collecting, sadly there aren't enough people who care about preserving our culture. Just thinking of all the monuments and buildings destroyed because of the war and lack of preservation is a bit depressing.
