A very lovely woman she is! I have already had a turn at the mystery ladies, so I will entertain anybody else's pics and imagination in this fruitful endeavour.

she has definite caucasian features reminescent of tajiks or people from north east afghanistan and north west pakistan such as pamiris!! I see Howah thinks the same as me!!

@Hillary, did you actually crop the original picture from any further hints or written captions ?

Rather modern? The embroidery (under the head cloth) looks a bit like Turkmeen to me. The use of buttons can be in several countries. The earring and necklace do not look very old.

This is a newer photograph. It is marked as Uighur. The style of earrings is from Kashghar, Western China.
