Abkhaz girl


















This picture is from a beautiful series of photos from the Caucasus, displayed on the website of the Kunstkammer museum in St. Petersburg. It can be seen in context at www.kunstkamera.ru/exhibition/kavkaz/eng/frame.html. The Kunstkammer is the oldest museum in Russia, founded in 1704 by Peter the Great, who collected interesting objects on his travels through Europe, and eventually made them into a permanent exhibition of curious or beautiful things.
