The members are from left:
1- A qanat maker. This is the man who digs the tunnels by which the water is brought from the base of the hills to the towns in the plain. The leather bag on his arm is a bucket. 2- A Parsi raiyat or agriculturist with his spade. 3- A porter. 4- A charvadar or muleteer from «Laristan». These very big men often come to Yezd with caravans. 5 & 6- A Jew, who is divining from his book for the charvadar. The Jew has his boy with him. 7- An oil seller. He carries the oil in gourds. 8- A darvish or religious mendicant. 9- An Arab. These are sometimes seen in Yezd, but like the Lari charvadar they do not really belong to the town. |
