Visitors to Bahrain can still see pictures of Sheikh Eissa bin Salman everywhere, his face surrounded by the soft folds of the kuffiyeh, his forehead barred by the severe lines of the uqal. His piercing eyes, so similar to those of the falcon he often carried on his arm, and the close-cropped, bristling beard, add an aura of severity and command respect tempered with a sense of poignancy after his passing.
