Akšamija Akšamija, Alija M. A veiled lady with a parasol in the steep mahalla of Mihrivode. She wears a plaid zar with gloves and dušeme. Her face is covered with a light, semi-transparent scarf with a flower pattern, which is also drawn over part of her fes.

The lady is wearing men's gloves and has very large hands. She is probably a man. The blown up image reveals a moustache under the veil.
