Fartus men spear fishing Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of men in boats, spear fishing on Umm al Abid. Each of the boats has one man standing in the bow holding a long five pronged spear. 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.

She is saddled with a dark sheepskin and carries bags and a rifle

View from behind of a young man standing in the prow of Wilfred Thesiger's tarada (sheikh's canoe)

On the far left a young boy

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

In the far distance a low sand bank stretches across the horizon

View of a man leading two camels across Al Maqta

On the far side are buildings with wind-towers

moored in the port at Mahón

A dhow under full sail glides across a flat sea

At Laduma's kraal

and is blinded with a leather hood
