                      A KAKUR AFGHAN.
                           (322)

THIS picturesque figure represents a member of the Kakur tribe or clan of Afghans, who in Sind are considered the most aristocratic of their people.  Some of them are settled in Sind, and one of them, Ata Mahomed Khan, an enterprising merchant, is established at Shikarpoor, and is well known to the British residents there.  The person represented is in full Afghan winter costume, and wears a posteen, or cloth cloak, lined with sheeps' wool, forming a most comfortable wrapper.
