Leon Lazarov's great-grandmother

Leon Lazarov's great-grandmother

This is my great-grandmother with her necklaces made of beads. Maybe she was the first woman to wear a watch also. She is my maternal great-grandmother. I don't know her name; I didn't know her personally. This photo was taken in Kyustendil and is probably 100 years old. There is nothing written on it, not a single word whatsoever. I don't know how this picture got to our home, but I've seen it here as early as I can remember . My grandmother was called Amada, but I don't know my great-grandmother's name.
