| Description |
Like some Turkish Pasha, this man wears an
ornately twisted turban with feathers and other
adornments. The rest of his costume is simple--
a spotted cape (perhaps an animal skin), some
jewelry, and some facial paint. Is his elaborate
headdress a mark of office, or is he merely a
fashionable dandy parading his latest sartorial
triumph?
