Eritrean women dancing in traditional zurias

A zuria is a dress worn by the Tigrinya women in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Traditional zurias often feature intricate designs, go to the ankles, and are accessorized with a netsela, a white, scarflike accessory worn about the shoulders and head. Zurias come in different forms and designs with an extra sheen due to the demands of fashion. Zurias are worn during holidays, weddings, or parties.
