Koordish Warrior

Notes:

P. 5 "This roughness of the country, added to the ferocity of the people, renders portions of it well nigh inaccessible, and, consequently, little known to civilized nations. The accompanying drawing very well represents the common appearance of the Koordish warrior." The warrior on horseback is well armed with a spear, shield, and sword. He wears the traditional shalwar, tunic, caba (Shoberl 1845, p. 34) or qaba (Vogalsang-Eastwoodand p. 10), and gouchpeesh (Shoberl pa. 68) as a turban. He wears a beard and mustache.
