Description:
P. 34 "The second officer is the Ichic-Agasee, whom Morier calls the master of ceremonies: he superintends the porters, ushers, door-keepers, and other officers of that class belonging to the palace. Before him is borne a gold stick covered with precious stones, which is the mark of his dignity: and when the king quits his seraglio, he takes it in this hand, standing at some distance of his majesty's person, and endeavoring to anticipate his commands from his looks." P. 62-63 "This is not the only occasion on which the khilauts is conferred: it is given by the king, in token of his approbation or favor, to such of his own subjects as are deemed deserving of the honour, and to ambassadors or other foreigners who visit his court. it's quality, and the number of articles of which it is composed, differ with the rank and favor of the receiver. A common khilauts consists of a caba or coat; a kemerbund, or zone; a gouchpeesh, or shawl for the head: when it is intended to be more distinguishing, a sword or a dagger is added. To persons of distinction rich furs are given, such as a catabee or a coordee; but when the khilauts is complete..." description P. 34 "The second officer is the Ichic-Agasee, whom Morier calls the master of ceremonies: he superintends the porters, ushers, door-keepers, and other officers of that class belonging to the palace.
