I saw a pointed beard when I looked at the larger version.

I've been looking at Ukrainian National Costume but can't decide.

The person has quite large hands for a female.

Here's one link:

If you scroll down, the outfit does look a wee bit like the woman's costume on the left of the page.

I still think it might be a man, just the way he/she is sitting and the foot on the 'stone'

I'll e-mail her and see if she can come back  :)

We were up pretty late the other night trying to get the image scanned correctly - I feel that I know every mark and pixel on both images  ;D
