Anybody know if the check pattern means anything?
That's an Afghani, a Pakistani, or a man from that region wearing a
traditional kaffiyeh; I think Afghani because Pakistanis tend to be
darker skinned, have darker eyes, and usually only wear black and
white kaffiyeh. I have a few Afghan kaffiyeh that I got from a
Nepalese jewelry dealer in the 80's; they are dark purple-grey, and
have a tighter pattern, which reverses to mostly cream color. I was
told the pattern symbolized grain, and had been in common use since
Joseph warned the Pharoah about the 7 years of famine. Kaffiyeh come
in different styles all over the Middle East:

The guy who looked like Ringo & always had a sidearm always wore the
same pattern on his headgear.

That's the previous Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar, now
Secretary-General of the National Security Council of Saudi Arabia, a
good friend of the Bush family. He's currently either in hiding, or
under house arrest.
