View of rooftops and a ... Thesiger CollectionView of rooftops and a rooftop shelter in the city of Abha. In the left foreground a square room with small windows sit atop a roof on a building. The structure is made from adobe topped with parallel lines of raqf (slate) tiles to prevent erosion of the structures by weather. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
