Description

Upper body portrait of an elderly tribesman of the Rashid, one of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's Bedouin retainers, in Al Ain. The man sits in the sand, grasping a camel stick in his left hand. He is wearing a thobe (long shirt), and has a headscarf (ghutra) draped over his head. This image was taken during April 6-30, 1948, when Wilfred Thesiger stayed at Al Muwaiji fort in Al Ain as a guest of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
