Description

Seated portrait of Salim bin Ghabaisha, one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions, in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate. Salim bin Ghabaisha, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of the Rashid Bedouin, squats on a rock holding a rifle in his hands. He wears cartridge belt suspenders over his thobe (long shirt), and his long hair hangs down around his shoulders, beneath his headscarf.

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.
