Girl at Ahansal MiscellaneousPortrait of a girl, sitting on a rock, at Ahansal in the High Atlas range of mountains. 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.

In the far background a barjeel (wind-tower) sits on the roof of the house

as evidenced by his blocked nostrils

and is elaborately decorated with wood carvings

View of a roadside building decorated with ibex horns

He also wears a plain ghutra (headscarf) tied over his head

In the foreground a vast rocky plain leads to fields and a cluster of buildings in the city of Abha

standing and sitting

on which many flies sit

Oarsmen wait beside a line of abra at a ferry launch on Dubai Creek

and a khanjar (dagger) in a cartridge belt around his waist

A man is sitting at the water's edge
