Some of these enclosures have palm trees growing in them
He wears a floral ghutra (headscarf) with a very thick agal (head rope) and holds a rifle in a protective leather sleeve
one of whom is holding open a large book or bound manuscript volume
on the opposite bank of the creek
with buildings constructed at the top of cultivated terraces and mountains in the distance
all the sand surrounding the men is bare of vegetation
Merchants sit at stalls housed in 'arish huts along the left side of the market aisle
A long buck-skin strip about four inches wide which is attached to the moccasin is wrapped around the leg nearly to the knee

looking towards the sea
migrating from Lake Shiva above the Oxus valley back to winter pastures
and carries a camel stick
