Seated portrait of a tribesman ... TibetSeated portrait of a tribesman of the Manasir Bedouin in Al Khatam sands near Al Ain. An older man with a thick grey goatee sits in front of some tall dry bushes. His hands are clasped together in his lap on top of his dark bisht (robe) which he wears over a light coloured thobe (long shirt).
