13 Embroidered Cowl (7th C Sasanian/Persian) Cowl   This project came about after reading an article on various different silver works and stone carvings that depicts dress in the Sasanian Era. Looking back, I should have done a better interpretation of a cowl, but I let the idea that Persian is different from European and the fact that the depiction does not include a hood actually on the woman's head fool me. I still have no proof that such cowls had attached hoods, but it seems more reasonable to me now that it would have an attached hood that was not up than it not having a hood. It does however look lovely with a turban and veil head covering.
