I need the help of a German reader to help identify the subject of a lithograph in
Zeitschrift fur Ethnologie Vol. 11 in German (Journal of Ethnology, Vol. 11, 1879). Who was attired this way in 1879, Eastern Sudan?
I think it relates to a two part article by Robert Hartmann on “Die Bejah”. I think it describes various Arab tribes in East Central Sudan, but cognates only got me so far. Part one starts on p. 117 per the TOC, but p. 133 in the text. Part two is p.195/213. I'd also appreciate summary of any commentary relative to arms and armour (mainly swords) discussed.
Here's the link to Part 1

Link to Part 2.

The warrior is here or on p. 943 and identified as Taf. III

Thanks for your help,
