This lady looks like an apache American Indian lady.
Jose, this is getting more and more mysterious...is she really wearing a cross?
I am going to guess Mapuche from Chile. I live in the American Southwest and have never seen any jewerly of this sort.
Well, I am not really sure about that but it would not be impossible. You also know how people are exposed to some other cultures and influences. On the other hand crosses are not that uncommon symbols...
Ingrid, yours was not a completely wild shot but still to be narrowed ...
What about a Navajaho, who are knowns for their silver work???
i just need to confess that i am in love with these big earrings since a long time!
He re in paris they have a huuuuuge pair in display in the quai branly museum
