1. A Persian Meerza or Scribe

Notes:
This image of a Persian scribe shows him dressed very well in a yellow tunic covered by the caba (Shorberl 1845, p. 34) or qaba (Vogalsang-Eastwood, p. 10). Under the tunic he wears long shalwar. On his feet he wears socks and slippers with heels. His hat is the kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12) seen in many of this book's illustrations. This scribe also wears the beard and mustache of this region.
