Fiziksel açıklama
Man's cloak ( Abba ) of silk, tapestry-woven in silver-gilt and silver thread and coloured silks, chiefly purple, and embroidered with silver-gilt thread. The cloak is nearly square in shape, cut straight down in front and hangs open. There are openings for the arms at the upper corners. In front are two narrow stripes forming a border in gold, silver, pale blue and brown, and a horizontal row of large lozenges indicated by two zig-zag bands of short vertical lines in gold and silver. Round the neck is a border consisting of a wavy floral stem, closely embroidered in chain stitch. There is a rosette and loop at teach side for fastening. On the back at the shoulders are three large compartments with a border of narrow vertical stripes resembling a fringe, in gold and colours; below is a band of lozenges similar to that on the front. A zig-zag border runs round the bottom of the robe. Partly lined with purple silk.
