Influences

House, costume, children

T can say impartially that the Hungarians of the Kalotaszeg (Tara Cälatei) region are one of the most beautiful Hungarian ethnic groups. Generally they tend to be of average to tall height, of a bony, sinewy, skinny build, with a slightly Tartaric skull andface. Their stance is erect and even graceful and there is a spring in their walk, quite consciously, in fact’.K0S 1932:171
