Qabā
A ''qaba'' (, from Middle Persian ''kabāh'') is a long coat with sleeves and buttons, similar to a cassock, open at the front. The Mughal emperors wore ankle-length garments. The outfits during the reign of Babur and Humayun are more or less the same, i.e. qaba, jama, pirahan, jilucha, jiba and kasaba. Unlike the jama, which was a four-pointed long-coat the Qaba and takauchia were of a broad girth at the bottom. There are mentions of the qaba in the ''Baburnama''. At present, qaba is one of the essential parts of the dress of the clerics or mosque leaders. It was worn in Egypt, Turkey, the Levant, and Persia, among other places. When Henry II, Count of Champagne, king of Jerusalem, tried to build a friendly relationship with Saladin, he requested the gift of a qabā and a sharbūsh', which he wore in Acre. In Arab contexts, two main variations were noted; the Turkish style (''al-aqbiya al-turkiyya''), and the Tatar (or Mongolian) style (''al-aqbiya al-tatariyya'' or ''q ...

Sharbūsh
The ''Sharbush'' or ''Harbush,'' Sarposh, Serpush (, , ) probably derived from Persian word Serpush, which means "headdress". was a special Turkic military furred hat, worn in Central Asia and the Middle East in the Middle Ages. It appears prominently in the miniatures depicting Badr al-Din Lu'lu' (ruled 1234–1259). It was a stiff cap of the military class, with a triangular front which was sometimes addorned with a metal plaque. It was sometimes supplemented with a small ''kerchief'' which formed a small turban, named ''takhfifa''. The wearing of the ''Sharbūsh'' was one of the key graphical and sartorial elements to differentiate Turkic figures from Arab ones in medieval Middle-Eastern miniatures. The ''Sharbush'' could vary in size and shape, sometimes taking huge proportions, as in the depiction of the emir in the frontispiece of the 1237 ''Maqamat of al-Hariri''. The shape of the ''sharbush'' seems to have varied depending on geographical regions: * The ''sharbush'' of A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
