In a village
near Gersik, northwest of Surabaya on the island of Java, a
loose headstone from a grave has been found which bears an Arabic epitaph in Kufic script saying that the grave held the remains of a
woman who died in 475 or 495 (A.D. 1082 or 1102)-- the uncertainty is due to the difficulty in deciphering one word which may be either seventy or ninety.
If you have a Bryn Walker boutique
near you (they are based in California), they have wonderful linen separates that fit me (
women's / plus size 18 / 1X) and always have a range of simply cut gauze tops, tunics and bottoms of various styles (I'm partial to the
loose culottes, but I'm 5» 8 ″).
