- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
'This plate represents another man of the Khuttuk Afghans, who is a horseman, equipped after the fashion of the tribe in armour. Over his turban he wears a cap of light steel chain, part of which, thickly quilted with cotton or wool, and fastened across his chest by straps, descends as far as his waist, and, when mounted, protects his back and arms. He has bright steel gauntlets reaching to the elbow, the leather covering for his hands being studded with bosses of steel or brass. His tunic is of quilted cotton, thick enough to turn a sabre cut, and with strong jack boots reaching to the knee, completes the costume. His arms are a light matchlock and sword, and his powder horns and bullet bag hang at his waist on his right side...'
