Description
Portrait of Yasir bin Hamud, a sheikh of the Junuba Bedouin, at the southern end of Jabal Hafit (Jebel Hafeet), near Al Qabil. Yasir bin Hamud, a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, stands facing forward. He wears a khanjar (dagger) on a cartridge belt over his thobe (shirt) and wears a plain headscarf. Behind him, on the left, a rifle lies on the ground. In the far background a number of trees grow on the flat below Jabal Hafit (Jebel Hafeet), which rises in the distance.
