An image of a Jewish village girl taken circa 1870 in Persia. She is elaborately decorated with an abundance of silver jewelry, which must have been somewhat uncommon for simple villagers, indicating her family had a relatively high economic status. The oblong silver pendant hanging from her neck is similar to those seen worn by women throughout the region, often containing talismans (grains of rice, verses from holy books, etc). Hanging from it, as well as from her headdress, are what appear to be coins, another common jewelry feature of the area.
