Young Armenian woman in national costume

A young Armenian woman photographed in national costume. The photograph was taken at the end of the 19th century.

The woman is seated on a carpet-covered sofa beside cushions. On her head is a headdress with metal ornaments, from which a veil falls onto her shoulders. On her chest are several rows of coin ornaments, her sleeves are embroidered, metal chains hang from her waist, and she wears rings on her fingers. Her wide skirt reaches the floor.
