1. A Persian Muleteer, with His Winter Cloak or Goatskin

Notes:
Muleteers have a distinct look to their costume. The goatskin cape with hair still in place serves as a practical garment no only for warmth but also for the repelling of rain. He wears the short shalwar (Shoberl 1845, p. 118) or shalvar (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 8) and knee high, laced boots with a curled toe. Like the other men he is wearing the kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12).
