Description

Portrait of two Rashid tribesmen at an encampment near Bir al Tawil in the Ramlat ar Rabbad. These men are sons of Muhammad, a sheikh of the Rashid Bedouin, with whom Wilfred Thesiger stayed for a few days during his first crossing of the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). The men are sitting in the sand cutting chunks of meat into small pieces. The man on the left is cutting with a large curved dagger, while the man on the right is using a small knife. Resting on the sand in front of them is a woven mat piled high with meat.

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.
