Description
Seated profile portrait of a boy from one of the Qara tribes in Wadi Nihiz in the Jabal Qara mountains. A young boy sits in a field facing towards the left. His hair is shaved on the sides of his head, leaving a strip of curly hair in the middle of his head. This haircut is a sign that the boy has not yet been circumcised.
