Ambassador

Notes:

P. 114 "The Persians shave the head twice or three times a week.  Some have a lock of hair growing on the crown, after the fashion of the Turks; others retain a border above the ears." The Ambassador is wearing a full array of garments that make up the khilauts (Shoberl, p. 62-63)
