D'you suppose this picture was taken after the implementation of Pershing's General Order #11 ?

I don't think it is a scabbard, looks more like a narrow parrying shield to me .

The Datu's eyes are downcast .

Unfortunately covered in water marks but the only copy I could find...

1910, west Kordufan, two mounted men, one in mail and metal helm, the other in quilted armor and with a kaskara. More cavalry in the background.

Really evokes the period and the people for me.
