یادداشتها
This cape is made of burgundy silk velvet and embroidered with silver and gilt leaves and flowers. It dates to the late 19th century and belonged to the female member of a wealthy and important family in Shiraz, southern Iran. This cape is typical of female fashion in Iran at this time and would have been worn over layers of clothing. This was a remarkable period for emerging modernity in Iranian style, which combined national conservatism with modifications of western designs. The excellent condition of the cape tells us it was rarely worn and was probably a gift, or soghati , brought by visitors.
