Who is Boaz’s Worker?
A sun-browned adult worker with a sturdy build, wearing a short undyed linen tunic, woven belt, and simple head wrap. He has curly dark hair, a practical, open face, and leather sandals caked with field dust. A bundle of cut barley and a bronze sickle give him the busy silhouette of a reaper.
