Woman Selling Chopon, near Khujand                                           2005

(photograph available)

The Sunday (yakshanbe) market is like a small city, well organized by product and service.  In a far corner,  perhaps a dozen women sell chopon, black heavy quilted men's robes.  I tried one on in the 110°F heat.  I thought I would melt.
