This Girl is Worth Five Camels

Description:

I have just finished my illustration inspired by my trip to Israel. When I was there, I learned that among the Bedouin people that their idea of beauty is very different from ours. In there culture, women who have more curvaceous than than thin supermodels. Anyway, when there is a marriage, the groom gives a dowry to the bride's family usually animals like camels, goats, chickens etc. Camels are the most valuable to the Bedouins because they are used for transportation and can cost around $1,500. I personally I would be worth five camels. :) Whoa boy!! :) Don't I feel special! ;) This is what inspired my illustration. Lol.
