She wears a remarkable large string of pearls that cascades down her chest and neck, adding to her allure. The pearls are the centerpiece of her ensemble, their lustrous sheen complementing her dark, expressive eyes. Atop her head, she dons a turban-style headdress, a common headgear for women in the region during that era. The headdress is adorned with intricate gold embroidery and is topped with a golden crescent moon, a symbol of the Islamic faith that is deeply rooted in Turkish culture. The sturdy headdress sits securely on her head, its weight balanced by the intricate design and her confident bearing.

The image is a testament to the rich history and diverse heritage of this fascinating city and its people. The photograph, taken around 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when such beauty and elegance were the norm.
