A woman is explaining what wedding were like in Algeria (Gualme) 60 years ago. She says that the جهاز was made of a veil (al-hayek) and a bag which held a pair of fanadir. What are these? And what is the single of it: findar, fundar, fandar? I suspect they are some form of footwear, but not sure.

sorry there is missing words in my first posting. It is used for embroidered garment or dress which is put in Al-Shurah (the bride's trousseau)
