Portrait of three young boys ... Images of Wilfred Thesiger

Portrait of three young boys ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerPortrait of three young boys, named Munzuk [Murzuk], Erzek and Merzik, of the Bayt Kathir Bedouin sitting on stony ground at Habarut wells. They are the sons of Nura, a woman Wilfred Thesiger met at Mudayy in the Wadi 'Aydim. 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 man on the right holds onto some ropes attached to the mast

joined together at the top

In the distance beyond ridges of rolling sand dunes continue to the far horizon

sitting on the back of a buffalo

View of a young boy standing in a grove of date palms in Al Birk village

The butt-end is utilized as a comb

On the left a rowboat is moored beside a cloth-covered structure that extends into the creek

From left to right

When the stone point becomes dull it is sharpened by flaking the tip in the same manner that flint arrow points are made

Above them a man stands on the cockpit holding a piece of rope

A second man stands in a small opening in the door

perhaps more advanced in civilized arts than the people of Taos
