The abundance of fabrics that make up the man's colorful apparel reflect the wealth and high standing of the Bukharan merchants. The wide coats - gifts given by emirs to those they favored - were worn one on top of another by Jews and Muslims alike. Digital presentation of this object was made possible by: The Ridgefield Foundation, New York, in memory of Henry J. and Erna D. Leir |
