  1. Uighurs are not persian, but this figures look like ''persian people. In these paintings, their eyes are very big. However, Uighurs are a Turkic and Asian tribes and their eyes are not big. Especially, thirth and fourth paintings, they are look like persian women and child much more.

    In central asia, a lot of turkic ''balbal'' and historical painting show us ''real turkic faces'' (eyes, and face types)

    These are real Turkic eye style:
