Seller of Beach Towels in Traditional Attire in Mombasa

Description

The color photograph shows a young man, likely a member of the Maasai or a related group, wearing traditional beaded clothing, selling souvenirs or beach towels. He stands in front of a stone staircase, which possibly leads to a beach or a historical site. The colorful towels, one of which clearly bears the name 'Mombasa', locate the scene on the coast of Kenya and document early tourism and trade with indigenous peoples.
