Description:

P. 335 "Nestorian girls, and women to the age of middle life, are very fond of wearing jewels, beads, pieces of silver money -base coin silver-washed, and other rude trinkets, on their heads, about their persons, and even in their noses. The accompanying drawing is intended to represent a Nestorian girl thus ornamented. The whole paraphernalia, including all those mentioned and the girdles and rings about the wrists and ancles [sic], sometimes amount to the enormous weight of ten or twelve pounds." This young woman is wearing trousers, a knee-length tunic, a long ornamented jacket cinched in the waist with a belt. Her headdress is comprised of a small scull cap with rows and rows of coins around the rim, and coins on chains from ear to ear under her chin. She wears more than one necklace.
