Description:
|
P. 268 "The dress of the Molláh, here introduced, imparts a fair idea of the gracefulness of Persian costume." The molláh is wearing the full length white cloak or aba (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 11) his green tunic is decorated with red bands. His turban is large made of patterned and plain white fabric, with some of the white fabric trailing behind. He wears the full beard and mustache typical to men of this region.
