This lady looks to me Greek. or Palestinian.
Hint for Patti- take a look at the earrings
Those look like Kashgar earrings
This look like the same earrings on this Kashgari woman.
Yes Patti! Uighur!
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.
wow i would have never guessed this lady was uighur!!
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.
