EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Kabardin woman from the northern Caucasus region, specifically from Georgia, during the 1910s. The Kabardin people, also known as Kabardians or the Adyghe, are an ethnic group indigenous to the North Caucasus, with speakers of the Kabardian language representing the easternmost extension of the Circassian language group. The woman in the photograph is adorned in traditional regional attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of her people. Her headdress, or kebertei, is a distinctive element of Kabardin women's traditional dress, featuring a tall, conical hat with intricate embroidery and decorative tassels. The woman's dress, with its voluminous skirt and ornate patterns, is also typical of the Kabardin people's traditional clothing. The Kabardin people have a complex history, with Kabardian-speaking communities found in Georgia, Northern Turkey, and North Ossetia. In North Ossetia, the Republics Mozdok district and the southern part of the neighboring Kurskoy district of Stavropol Krai are home to Kabardians who are Orthodox Christians. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Kabardin people and their unique cultural traditions. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich diversity of the Caucasus region and the importance of preserving and celebrating the histories and traditions of its various ethnic groups.
