n, 1811), with 70 hand-coloured plates, including costumes of many of the semi-barbaric tribes of central Asia; for Turkish costume in the 18th century see _Recueil de cent estampes representant differentes nations du Levant_, engraved by Le Hay (Paris, 1714); for Greek costume at the time of the War of Independence see Baron O. M. von Stackelberg, _Costumes et usages des peuples de la Grece moderne_ (Rome, 1825), with 30 beautiful plates. For Highland costume see R. R. MacIan, _Costumes of the Clans_ (Glasgow, 1899), with letterpress by J. Logan. FOOTNOTES: [1] _The Races of Man._ [2] The comprehensive description by Herodotus (vii. 61 sqq.) of the costumes of the mercenaries of Xerxes is classical (see Rawlinson's edition, iv. 56 sqq.). For archaeological parallels one may compare the tombs of Rekhmire (15th cent. B.C.) and Harmhab (14th cent.) in Egypt, the "Black Obelisk" of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser II. (9th cent.) or his famous gates at Balawat (ed. W. Birch and T. G. Pinches, and with critical description and plates by A. Billerbeck and F. Delitzsch, _Beitrage z. Assyriologie_, vi. 1; Leipzig, 1908). [3] Old Babylonian sculptors who represent the enemy as naked (Meyer [see bibliography below], pp. 12, 70 seq., 116), conventionally anticipate the usual treatment of the slain and wounded warriors. [4] Edited P. C. Newberry (_Archaeol. Survey of Egypt_, 1893). Cf. also the Palestinian short coloured skirt with black tassels of the 14th century (_Zeit. f. Agypt. Sprache_, 1898, pp. 126 sqq.). [5] See e.g. Ball, _Light from the East_, p. 36. On the Aegean dress (Whether a development from spiral swathes or perhaps rather from a series of skirts one above the other), see the discussion of the Aegean loin-cloth by D. Mackenzie, _Annual of the British School at Athens_, xii. 233-249 (esp. 242 seq.). [6] Joseph's familiar "coat of many colours," which we owe to the Septuagint, can perhaps be justified: R. Eisler, _Orient. Lit. Zeitung_, August, 1908 [7] Erman, 226 sqq., cf. the modern Bedouin shoe, Jennings-Bramley, _Quart. Stat._ of Palest. Explor. Fund (1908), p. 115 sq. (on dress of Sinaitic Bedouin generally). [8] Meyer, 97, see F. Hommel, _Aufsatze u. Abhandlungen_ (Munich, 1900), 160 sqq., 214 sqq. For other feathered head-dresses in western Asia, see Muller, 361 sqq. [9]
