Overview
In this age of Mongol rule, Eastern dress and textiles were brought to Iran.
Key garments and style
The ruling class wore Mongol-style open-fronted robes and distinctive hats; the women’s tall headdress (boghtagh) is also seen. Chinese dragon, phoenix and cloud motifs were woven into silk, and the manuscript paintings of works such as the Jami’ al-tawarikh show Mongol-Persian dress.
Transition
In the Timurid period these elements crystallised into the court dress of Persian miniature painting.
