  • 9730 Ira.Ant. 12 Goldman
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXII, 1997 WOMEN’S ROBING IN THE SASANIAN ERA BY Bernard GOLDMAN This brief description is intended as an introduction to women’s dress in Sasanian times with comparanda that helps to place the Iranian styles within the general history of late antique dress in Western Asia. Unfortu- nately, the task is self-limiting, bringing to mind the platonic metaphor of dancing shadows on the cave wall. The habiliment of early Iranian women, like all other early Asian dress, has not survived except as a few bits and pieces of woven stuff1. Our knowledge, then, must derive from those shadowy costumes cast on a few rock reliefs, on some luxury table- ware, glyptics and coin types, and on less than a handful of painting and mosaic fragments. The fragility of this type of evidence accounts no doubt for the scant attention Sasanian costuming has received and, when it is remarked, too often the tendency is to accept these shadows as if they were the substance2. A further complication in any discussion results from the relatively small numbers of pictured women in the several art media, and most of these examples are not easily controlled as to date or place of origin. 1 For preserved Sasanian textiles, figural designs, patterns, Goldman 1993, n. 2; for textile patterns related to or derived from the Sasanian, von Falke 1951; Ierusalimskaia 1972, 11, 14. 2 Several factors pertain in discussing pictured dress and its usefulness in dating: a particular type of dress may assume a traditional role and be worn, copied, or portrayed long after it had dropped out of fashion; an outmoded style may enjoy a revival; official and religious portraits may be clothed in traditional forms that are not limited to any one period; a style may come into fashion later and persist longer in one region than in another; distinctive style details of different periods may overlap and equitably coexist for extended periods.

  • Sorrow in a Greek Village Nicki Cappas
    MANUSCRIPTS 25 Sorrow In a Greek Village Nicki Cappas LTHOUGH T hardly knew her, T wept at the death of the child. T wept not only because he~- death was a fre~kish accident A but also because she was linked to our family by a holy sacrament-a baptism. I remember how excited I was when I received the letter £1'0111 l11y fath~r during his visit to his hometown in Sparta, saying that he had Christened an infant girl and he had given her my mother's name. Now five years later I was taking my first trip to Greece and eagerly looking forward to meeting my godsister. However, it is too bad that in the three days I saw her she was alive only once. That first day she was wearing a blue cotton dress and white shoes from America. She was wearing her baptismal cross, too. She was a little girl-just five years old and typically Greek-looking in every way. Her eyes were extremely dark and deeply set into her face; her hair was black and very curly, and her skin was olive. She was so shy meeting her god family for the first time that even an American doll could not break the ice! She did stay for awhile; but there was a wedding in the town and she soon scampered of f to see the bride. In searching for her the next day, the police found only her shoes and the few walnuts she had gathered lying on the edge of the well.
