Portrait of a member of ... Thesiger CollectionPortrait of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, a tribesman of the Rashid Bedouin at Mughshin Oasis. The man is tending a small small pot on the fire in front of him. In the background three large ghaf [Prosopis cineraria] trees grow in the distance. 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.
