In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

  • Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India
    Folklore 112 (2001):23± 45 RESEARCH ARTICLE Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªRobes of Honourº in India Michelle Maskiell and Adrienne Mayor Abstract This article presents seven historical legends of death by Poison Dress that arose in early modern India. The tales revolve around fears of symbolic harm and real contamination aroused by the ancient Iranian-in¯ uenced customs of presenting robes of honour (khilats) to friends and enemies. From 1600 to the early twentieth century, Rajputs, Mughals, British, and other groups in India participated in the development of tales of deadly clothing. Many of the motifs and themes are analogous to Poison Dress legends found in the Bible, Greek myth and Arthurian legend, and to modern versions, but all seven tales display distinc- tively Indian characteristics. The historical settings reveal the cultural assump- tions of the various groups who performed poison khilat legends in India and display the ambiguities embedded in the khilat system for all who performed these tales. Introduction We have gathered seven ª Poison Dressº legends set in early modern India, which feature a poison khilat (Arabic, ª robe of honourº ). These ª Killer Khilatº tales share plots, themes and motifs with the ª Poison Dressº family of folklore, in which victims are killed by contaminated clothing. Because historical legends often crystallise around actual people and events, and re¯ ect contemporary anxieties and the moral dilemmas of the tellers and their audiences, these stories have much to tell historians as well as folklorists. The poison khilat tales are intriguing examples of how recurrent narrative patterns emerge under cultural pressure to reveal fault lines within a given society’s accepted values and social practices.

  • Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College Deaccession of Clothing and Accessories from the Costume Collection
    Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College Deaccession of Clothing and Accessories from the Costume Collection Approved by the Hood Museum of Art Acquisitions Committee May 13, 2013 The following textiles have been deaccessioned and transferred to the Theater Department Costume Shop, Dartmouth College, unless otherwise noted. Evening Gown, originally c. 1900-1908 Off-white silk faille decorated with beige and grey appliqué, embroidery, and sequins Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Morris Burrows; 180.15.23199 Reason: The ball gown was remade sometime after its original date. It lost its original shape and silhouette. Also, the fabric is very dirty around the lower edge of the skirt. Evening Dress, 1920-30 Black lace Gift of the Drama Department Costume Shop, Dartmouth College; 177.8.22492 Reason: Because the design of the dress is rather ordinary, and there are better examples in the collection, it is likely that it will never be exhibited. Day Dress for a Large Lady, 1925-35 Blue and white crepe Gift of the Drama Department Costume Shop, Dartmouth College; 177.8.22520 Reason: Crepe is in fair condition. Probably the dress would never be exhibited due to its large size.

  • Daoist Priest's Robe C. 1850–1900 China
    This image card shows the back of a beautifully embroidered robe of the type worn by Daoist (DOW-ist) high priests when officiat- ing at religious rites and ceremonies.The robe is filled with images of auspicious symbols of the Daoist religion.Along the bottom edge, dragons frolic in ocean waves, chasing flaming pearls. On the sleeve borders, sets of three lines, known as trigrams, represent the changing forces of nature. Between them are emblems of Daoist Immortals, beings who attained immortality through their Daoist practice.These emblems include: a flower basket for a female immortal who became a fairy after eating a magical peach; a sword for a scholar who had supernatural powers over evil and sickness; musical clappers for the patron saint of theater; and a pair of gourds for a beggar who was able to make his spirit leave his body. Six large medallions in the center of the robe contain elaborately embroidered decorations of animals, plants, and celestial forma- Daoist Priest’s tions.A tower and three small palaces, home to Daoist gods, are Robe depicted in the top central circle.These decorative elements and the twenty-four multicolored dots represent the twenty-eight c. 1850–1900 Lunar Mansions (or constellations), where the moon rests as it journeys around the Earth each month.The moon (right) and China sun (left) can be seen just above the center circle.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 5 (2005), pages 42–58 Layer upon Layer: The Evolution of Cassock, Gown, Habit and Hood as Academic Dress by Alex Kerr Writers on the history of academic dress sometimes mistake which medieval garments were the antecedents of those worn in modern times. This happens especially when they misinterpret the evidence from memorial brasses and other pictorial sources. The situation is complicated by the fact that several Latin terms are used for a single article of dress in early university and college regulations and one term may refer to quite different articles at different periods. Now, as then, it is common to use words for clothing in both a narrow and a broad sense: for example, in modern English we use ‘jacket’ and ‘coat’ with various meanings, some of them overlapping or interchangeable. Similarly, in writing about medieval dress ‘gown’ or ‘robe’ may be a very specific item distinct from ‘cassock’ or ‘habit’ at one point, but any long, loose garment at another.
