[PLATE V. , Fig. 2. ] This garment fits the chest and shoulders closely, but fallsover th...e arms in two large loose sleeves, open at the bottom. At thewaist it is confined by a cincture. Below it is remarkably full andample, drooping in two clusters of perpendicular folds at the two sides, and between these hanging in festoons like a curtain. It extends downto the ankles, where it is met by a high shoe or low boot, opening infront, and secured by buttons. [PLATE IV. , Fig. 4. ] These Median robes were of many colors. Sometimes they were purple, sometimes scarlet, occasionally a dark gray, or a deep crimson.
