Lisa - I'd be interested in a small, but not too expensive khanjer than I can tie in my belt. No antiques, but not real shabby, either. I hope you have a wonderful trip! I wish I were going! By the way - your comment about the root word for Kohl is interesting - in Romany the word for 'black" is kalyi (one of my favorite Rom bands is called "Kalyi Jag -- Black Fire"). perhaps the arabic and indian words spring from the same linguistic source.

: : Kenzi, I am looking for some kohl powder and a nice container or
: : holder with applicator attached. I'm not crazy for India kohl. I
: used
: : the powder for years. nothing fancy brass or silvertone. I will
: send
: : you the money up front no problem I don't know the price of it. I
: : love kohl powder for my eyes(great in summer) and great for my
: belly
: : dance. Thanks, christine

: That should be no problem at all to find. I always see cute little
: kohl containers all over. Most of them are wooden and painted.
: There are some made of silver and also some really ancient once that
: look prehistoric. Sounds like you want the simple everyday ones.
: You'll have to tell me how much khol you want because I have no idea
: about how it is sold. By the way, the word kohl is from the
: arabic "kahl" for "black".
