Iranian Clothing
Traditional Persian clothing can be seen in Persian miniature paintings, employ both vivid and muted colors for clothing, although the colors of paint pigment often do not match the colors of dyes. The clothing of ancient Iran took an advanced form, and the fabric and color of clothing became very important. Depending on the social status, eminence, climate of the region and the season, Persian clothing during the Achaemenian period took various forms. The philosophy used in Persian clothing was that, in addition to being functional, it also had to be of aesthetic value. Traditional Persian clothing, although seldom worn in urban areas in modern times, has been well preserved in texts and paintings throughout history. Men's dress The traditional men's garment included the Shalvar, and Jameh combination, often with a wide belt called ''Kamarband'', from which English gets the word "cummerbund". Headdresses were also worn by men in traditional wear, known as the ''Sarband''. Lo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Korymbos (headgear)
The Korymbos ( el, Kόρυμβος, la, Corymbus; both meaning "cluster" or "uppermost points") was a jewel-studded globe containing the top hair of the ruler of the Sasanian dynasty of Iran, resting on his crown. It was introduced by Ardashir I Ardashir I (Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭥𐭲𐭧𐭱𐭲𐭥, Modern Persian: , '), also known as Ardashir the Unifier (180–242 AD), was the founder of the Sasanian Empire. He was also Ardashir V of the Kings of Persis, until he founded the new emp ... (). The art historian Matthew P. Canepa notes that although the Greek word ''Korymbos'' or Latin ''Corymbus'' has become a scholarly convention to refer to the spherical shape on the top of Sasanian crowns, it is not an indigenous Iranian term.

Clothing In Ancient Greece
Clothing in ancient Greece primarily consisted of the chiton, peplos, himation, and chlamys. Ancient Greek civilians typically wore two pieces of clothing draped about the body: an undergarment ( : chitōn or : péplos) and a cloak ( : himátion or : chlamýs). Ancient Greek clothing was mainly based on necessity, function, materials, and protection rather than identity. Thus, clothes were quite simple, draped, loose-fitting and free-flowing. Customarily, clothing was homemade and cut to various lengths of rectangular linen or wool fabric with minimal cutting or sewing, and secured with ornamental clasps or pins, and a belt, or girdle (: zōnē). Pieces were generally interchangeable between men and women.Adkins, Lesley, and Roy Adkins. ''Handbook to Life in Ancient Greece.'' New York: Facts On File, 1997. Print. However, women usually wore their robes to their ankles while men generally wore theirs to their knees depending on the occasion and circumstance. While no clothes ...

Zardozi
Zardozi or zar-douzi or zarduzi (from Classical Persian زَردوزی ''zardōzī'', literally "gold embroidery"; fa, label=Modern Persian, زَردوزی, translit=zarduzi; hi, ज़रदोज़ी, tg, зардӯзӣ, ur, زردوزی, uz, zardoʻzi), is an Iranian, Indian-subcontinent and Central Asian embroidery type. Zardozi comes from two Persian words: ''zar'' or ''zarin'' meaning 'gold', and ''dozi'' meaning 'sewing'. Zardozi is a type of heavy and elaborate metal embroidery on a silk, satin, or velvet fabric base. Designs are often created using gold and silver threads and can incorporate pearls, beads, and precious stones. It is used as decoration for a wide range of applications, including clothes, household textiles, and animal trappings. Historically, it was used to adorn the walls of royal tents, scabbards, wall hangings and the paraphernalia of regal elephants and horses. Initially, the embroidery was done with pure silver wires and real gold leaves. How ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tocharian Clothing
Tocharian clothing refers to clothing worn by the Tocharians. A series of murals from Kizil, Kizilgaha and Kumtura caves depicting Kuchean royalties, knights, swordsmen and donors have provided the best source of information on Tocharian costume. Their clothes were made of colourful, richly patterned fabric; a single- or double-lapel, belted caftan was very popular. This type of clothing was referred to as East Sassanid costume () by Albert von Le Coq. However, Mariachiara Gasparini argued that the style was under various influences, which can not be easily categorised as being strictly "Sasanian". According to Mariachiara Gasparini: Plaid textiles recovered from the Taklamakan Desert are of similar appearance to and are made with similar weaving techniques as textiles discovered at the Celtic sites of Hallstatt and Hallein.

Sasanian Dress
Sasanian dress (Middle Persian: ''ǰāmag'' or ''paymōg''), represented by the Persians, was "broadly similar" to dresses worn by other Iranian peoples. It was especially appropriate and applicable for horse riding. Most extant primary sources for the study of Sasanian dress are forms of visual art, rock reliefs in particular. In relation to the Sasanian dress, Matthew Canepa (2018) states: According to Elsie H. Peck (1992), scholars have been hampered in their research on Sasanian female dress due to the scarcity of extant material (i.e. representations) compared to male Sasanian dress.

Kandys
A kandys, plural ''kandyes'' ( grc, κᾰ́νδῠες, plural , probably from Old Persian * kandu "mantle, cover"), also called candys, kantuš or Median robe, is a type of three-quarter-length Persian coat. It originally described a leather cloak with sleeves worn by men, but evolved into a garment worn by Athenian women. The kandys is sometimes compared to the much later 17th-19th century military pelisse as worn by Hussars, in the sense that it was a sleeved jacket or coat worn cloak-style. Semantics It is suggested that the term ''kandys''/''candys'' was probably an Iranian word that was appropriated by the Greeks to describe the Persian garment, which in Old Persian would have been called ''kandu'' (cloak). Other Old Iranian terms include ''kanzu-ka'' (Median), ''kan-su-ka'' (Elamite) and ' (Parthian), all of which correspond with the term cloak. The prefix 'kan-', in such languages, means to cover or to throw, as in a coat thrown round the shoulders. Although some sources h ...

Gorjiduz
A Gorjiduz ( fa, گورجیدوز) was a leather craftsman who practised the profession known as ''gorjiduzi''; creating leather Georgian-style shoes. The ''gorjiduz'' were commonly found in cities and towns in 19th century Qajar Iran, and formed their own associations (i.e. guilds). Formerly, the ''gorjiduz'' also made Georgian shoes for males; these male versions were commonly worn in Iran, but fell into disuse in the course of the 19th century. Thus, the ''gorjiduz'' had become synonym with being a crafter of female Georgian shoes. In his assessment of the 1853 building survey of the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, Nobuaki Kondo notes that it hosted many of Tehran's ''gorjiduzi'' shops. In his ''Geography of Isfahan'', Mirza Hosayn (son of Ebrāhīm Khan Taḥwīldār) noted that in the 1890s the business of numerous specialized leather craftsmen in Isfahan Isfahan ( fa, اصفهان, Esfahân ), from its Achaemenid empire, ancient designation ''Aspadana'' and, later, ''Spahan' ...

Persian Miniature
A Persian miniature (Persian: نگارگری ایرانی ''negârgari Irâni'') is a small Persian painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a ''muraqqa''. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western Medieval and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West, and many of the most important examples are in Western, or Turkish, museums. Miniature painting became a significant genre in Persian art in the 13th century, receiving Chinese influence after the Mongol conquests, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
