Description:
An upper body portrait of two men, identified as Nimi (the young man to the left, possibly a servant) and an Omda (Arabic term for tribal chief), who is wearing both pith helmet and Arabic style cloth. Nimi is wearing a turban with a piece of coloured cloth fastened to the front of his white tunic. The Arabic dress of both men is atypical of other Ingessana images, and so there is a question mark about this identity.
