Gyantse Kumbum Frame:whiteA group of monks, four adults and boy, standing outside the Great chorten at Gyantse, known as the Kumbum. The tiers of the structure dominate the image, rising up to the great finial. The highly decorated window lintels can also be seen. There is a very good view of the metal 'umbrella' at the top of the chorten. In the background, the hills surrounding Gyantse can be seen as well as sections of the town wall on top. Due to the nature of these

then housed in Al Fahidi Fort
holding a peregrine falcon on his right arm
He is scratching his cheek with his thumb and wears a khanjar (dagger) on a cartridge belt over his thobe (shirt) and a white headscarf
Beside the launch a house with two wind towers (barjeel) sits along the creek
and in the far distance there is a line of trees
wearing a band round his forehead to which he has fastened the stuffed skins of small birds he has shot with his bow and arrows
In the distance behind him wind towers top the roofs of nearby houses
Beyond them rolling dunes rise along the horizon below a cloudless sky
