Indonesian Old Woman With Grey Hair From Timor Editorial Image

An old lady from the Indonesian part of Timor island, seats in front of her wooden hut and her granddaughter is combing her hair with a comb. It is the middle of a windy hot day. The Timor island has been divided in two parts during colonial times. West Timor was under a control of Dutch until 1949 when it became another Indonesian province. East Timor was a Portuguese colony until 1975, when it was anexed by Indonesia. The people of East Timor resisted Indonesian forces in a long-lasting guerrilla campaign. The conflict ended in 2002 by the establishment of an independence of East Timor, known now as Timor-Leste.
