Princesses MS6613


I had hoped the Princesses mentioned in this manuscript would all be wearing clothes reminiscent of their culture or at least Safavid interpretations of their garb. Unfortunately, a majority of them appear to be wearing the fashion of the times, that is, Safavid fashions.

The Russian Princess, F171v The Khvarazm Princess, F178v
The Chineese Princess F180r The Greek Princess F184v

Happily, the Indian Princess and her attendants wear something slightly different.
