Frame

It is less likely to happen than for a member of our own species, say a shopkeeper with all the usual ties— to family, to friends, to society — to drop everything and walk away from his life with only the spare change in his pockets and the clothes on his frame.
What does the 'his frame' in bold mean? Something close to 'his body'?
