View of a mountain settlement ... Images of Wilfred Thesiger

View of a mountain settlement ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of a mountain settlement in the region north of the city of Ad Dali' in Ad Dali' Governorate. Terraced fields cut across a steeply sloping mountain that rises towards the right, where a large square stone building sits atop the mountain. 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.

The men sit together at the side of a large pile of branches

The market at Old Sabya

View of Bakhtiari nomads with laden mules and donkeys on a narrow mountain path

In the far background sits the city of Abha

In the near distance five of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride their camels in a line across a vast flat bare expanse of sand

with tall buildings at either side

He wears a khanjar (dagger) on a cartridge belt over his thobe (long shirt)

gathered in a circle

A mountain rises up behind them
