Description

Half length portrait of Huaishil and Yasir bin Hamud, two of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions, outside Al Muwaiji Fort in Al Ain. Huaishil, a sheikh of the Mahamid lineage of Duru Bedouin, stands on the left. Yasir bin Hamud, a sheikh of the Junuba Bedouin, stands on the right. Each man wears a light coloured thobe (shirt) and an embroidered headscarf, and both squint into the sun. Behind them the walls of Al Muwaiji Fort run into the distance on the right.

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.
