Every society has its own idea of beauty. This series of films looks at some of them.
At the Court of King Solomon
' Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet. Thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of pomegranate within thy locks.'
We shall never know what the beauties described in the Song of Solomon were really like, but perhaps the face of Lea Avraham , a Yemeni dancer, gives us an idea as she prepares for the stage role as King Solomon's daughter.
