Portrait of a peregrine falcon (shahin), belonging to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's hunting party, resting in the sands near Al Ain. A peregrine falcon perches on a carved wooden wakir (block) staked in the sand. The peregrine's body faces towards the left, and it looks over its shoulder towards the right. The falconer's mangalah (cuff) lies in the sand in front of the wakir. In the background a vast expanse of sand continues into the far distance.
