View of a Qara village ... Thesiger Collection

View of a Qara village ... Thesiger CollectionView of a Qara village on a mountain slope near Kismim Pass in the Jabal Qara mountains. In the near distance a Qara tribesman stands in a group of small domed thatched shelters set into a sloping hillside. Rocks and piles of wood sit between the shelters. In the distance beyond the village the hillside rises in the far distance. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were
