Men at Work in Bahrain

Manama, II.2007; pict. Baeten & De Dier
 
Bahrain was a British Protectorate for more than a century. I'm therefore not surprised to learn that Men at Work signs of Bahrain belong to the U.K. group of roadsigns (overview in Great Britain).

The find at hand, however, is much better than anything presently found in this group. The detail is fabulous.

    The man has a real face. He's wearing a shirt with short arms. He knows how to handle his tool —see Bartolomeo's Safety Sheet— and he put on his wellies.

Collector's delight. You can't get them any better than this.
Though we have some nice runners-up: see f.e. Turkey, Belgium or Spain
