Description

Portrait of Salim bin Kabina, one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions, standing in Al Khatam or Al Humrah sands south of Al Ain. Salim bin Kabina, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, stands in the near right foreground on sand rippled by secondary dunes. He carries a rifle, in a tasselled case, over his shoulder and holds a camel stick. Wind blows against him from the left. In the distance beyond low crescent shaped dunes, dotted with scattered tufts of qassis (sedge), stretch out to the horizon beneath a vast cloudless sky.

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.
