A woman in a dark coat and hat sits on a camel with a striped saddle cloth and rope harness. The camel stands on a road edged with barbed wire, with a tall wooden pole rising beside it. Low walls and a whitewashed building stand behind, with trees at the left, and the shadow of the photographer falls across the foreground.
