Salome - her hand over a perfume burner
A stunning photograph showing an actress or dancer in the role of Salome. Her beautifully decorated bra top consists of clear stones or glass beads formed in the shape of swans over her breasts, with hanging fronds of stones or beads giving the moving impression of water. She holds her hand outstretched above a Turkish perfume burner, mounted on an inlaid Mother-of pearl octagonal table
