About Homa Faraati, Silsilad

Homa waa faraati leh laba ujeeddo oo sidoo kale loo xidhi karo sida silsilad. Qaybtan waxaa laga sameeyay dahab 18K ah waxaana lagu qurxiyay yaaquut buluug ah oo macmal ah. Faraatiga gudaha wuu jilicsan yahay, sidaas darteed faraatiga waa la hagaajin karaa cabbirka fartee xidhaha qofka xidha. Habka tareen-jideed oo ku salaysan giraangiraha tareenka, ayaa u oggolaanaya faraatiga in loo beddelo silsilad. Qufullo fudud oo hoosta yaal qaybta ayaa ilaalinaya qaabka goobtiisa marka faraatiga la xidho fartee. Naqshaddu waxay xidhaha siisaa doorasho hawleed iyo isdhexgal toos ah oo shayga la leh. Magaca Homa waxaa loola jeedaa shimbirta farxadda ee suugaanta Faaris.
