For list of authorities see Ancient Assyrian Costume. 79 ANCIENT PERSIAN COSTUME Plate XVI. is a representation of Darius, King ofPersia, sixth and fifth centuries B.C.; he is wearing theMedian Robe of Honour. It will be seen from theplan (Fig. 40a) that this robe is sewn up each side,leaving a space of 20 inches on either side for the hands.Like the Egyptian robe, the material required is twicethe height of the figure, the material is doubled, a neck-hole cut, and the garment is puUed on over the head.The Persian or Median method of wearing the garmentis unique: a girdle is tightly bound round the waist, andthen the robe is pulled up at either side over the girdleso as to produce the very elegant effect shown inPlate XVI. and Fig. 40, which is a modern drawing ofthe front view of Plate XVI., the result giving greatfreedom to the arms. The King seems to have tworobes of the same cut, one under the other.
