Standing group portrait of five ... Thesiger CollectionStanding group portrait of five Sahul Bedouin at the Ar Rumhiya wells near Ar Riyadh. In the near distance two Sahul Bedouin men and three boys stand in a line in sand littered with camel droppings. Far behind them a herd of camels rests on a barren flat plain in the right background. 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.
