A Muslim woman, possibly Egyptian, wearing a veil and facecovering
An uncaptioned black and white head and shoulders portrait photograph showing a Muslim woman wearing a veil and face covering. Only her eyes, eyebrows and the area immediately around are visible. She is looking at the camera. The veil covers the top and sides of her head, and her shoulders. The woman's nose is covered by a nosepiece consisting of a cylinder with three rings around it; it is attached to the veil at the top and a facecovering below. The facecovering is made of latticed material; it covers her lower cheeks, jaw, chin and neck and stretches to her chest.
This photograph is uncaptioned but, judging from the surrounding images in this album, it may show a woman from Egypt.
