MAN'S CLOAK
1874
The cloak is displayed to show the back. It is made from two lengths of fabric joined to make a horizontal seam around the middle of the garment. The tapestry-woven fabric is very decorative, but to add further visual interest it has been given a watered, or moiré, effect. This was done by pressing the cloth under heavy weights to flatten some of the ribs of the weave, leaving others unaltered so that they reflect the light differently.
Tapestry-woven silk, with gilded metal threads and a watered effect.
Iran, Kashan [2006]

- Textile, Aba or man's robe, blue silk with tapestry-woven gold decoration at the shoulders, Iran (possibly Kashan), Qajar period, 1870-1874 (en)
- Man's robe, aba, plain weave silk with tapestry-woven metal thread and silk decoration, moiré.Two lengths of fabric seamed side-by-side so that the seam is horizontal when the garment is worn; the seam is covered with a gold cord. The ground is a blue ribbed silk. In the lower half there are fine gold vertical lines from the hem forming a zigzag. In the upper half gold metal thread forms three downward pointing triangles separated by a red, blue and gold band from which fine gold lines extend down. The central triangle is narrower than the other 2 and the solid diagonal sides break into extended gold 'fingers'. At a certain length these half in thickness, becoming fine lines with thicker 'slubs'; each ends with a 'slub' and together then form a point. The edges of the two wider panels break into thicker and thinner 'fingers', their 'slubs' creating an almost solid band. Some lines extend to form a slightly serrated outline and the central ones continue as solid lines down to the horizontal seam. There is a red, blue and gold band to the outer side of the 3 gold panels, each has a single gold line extending from it. There are several isolated gold lines and another red one toward the side of the garment. (en)
