Tibetan Traveler
Explorer, Spiritualist, Buddhist — Alexandra David-Neel. (1868-1969). This lovely young girl (wearing a splendid necklace, I may add) grew up to be the first “white” woman to travel to Tibet, at a time when all foreigners were forbidden. Her first trip was in 1924, after that she gave up the comfort of a privileged life, to travel through Tibet, Nepal and India writing of mystics, lamas, and the Buddhist way. She wrote 30 books and lived to be 101.

Her eyes seem like they have seen lifetimes for her looking so young. I wonder how old she was in that photo.
The necklace is beautiful as is the rest of the bead work.
