as the caftan. When he is seated, all the sleeves are turned up
over the shoulder[62], so that his arms are bare, and the air is
admitted to his body.

Upon his turban, on the forehead, is a ball of silk, like a pear;
one of the distinctions of royalty. He wears, also, a close red
skull-cap, like the Moors of Tetuan, and two sashes, one over each
shoulder, such as the Moors wear round the waist; they are rather
cords than sashes, and are very large; half a pound of silk is used

the soldiers in Barbary; the other of silk, like those of the
Moorish merchants. He wears (as do the subjects) breeches made in
the Moorish fashion, of cotton in summer, made at Timbuctoo, and of
woollen in winter, brought ready made from Fas. His shoes are
distinguished by a piece of red leather, in front of the leg, about
three inches wide, and eight long, embroidered with silk and gold.

embroidered leather on the shoes.

The sultana wears a caftan, open in front from top to bottom, under
this a slip of cotton like the kings, an Indian shawl over the
shoulders, which ties behind, and a silk handkerchief about her
head. Other women dress in the same manner. They wear no drawers.
The poorest women are always clothed. They never show their bosom.
The men and women wear ear-rings. The general expense of a woman's
dress is from two ducats to thirty.[63] Their shoes are red, and
