Costumed
Nohra dancers. Costumed Nohra dancers from southern Thailand display the typical dance movements. The main dancer wore a head dress called the Terd from which two fresh flower garlands hung from either side. He wore gathered jong krabane pants with fabric pieces hung in front, the brocaded central piece being the most ornate. The supporting dancers were similarly dressed but did not wear the head dress. All had long metallic nails decorated with coloured beads and a tail piece. The present day costumes of Nohra dancers have been modified from these costumes which were popular during the reign of Rama V, in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. |
