Wie fliegende Händler folgen verschleierte Henna-Künstlerinnen mit klappbaren Ständen der potentiellen Kundschaft. Extra für Touristinnen haben sie sich Musterbücher angeschafft – als könnten jene die Symbolik der Zeichen verstehen. Für sie sieht Henna aus wie ein exotischer Spitzenhandschuh, für Eingeweihte sind alle Symbole darin enthalten, die Böses bannen und Glück herbeischwören.
I know they cover women's hands in intricate henna drawings/designs, but I am not sure how the best way to translate Spitzenhandschuh here.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
