Caftan (Metropolitan Museum of Art)
text:
A caftan or coat of linen with silk borders in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art represents the typical clothing worn by horsemen along the Silk Road in the North Caucasus during the 8th–10th centuries. The caftan is reconstructed from garment fragments excavated from a burial ground near Moshchevaja Balka. Moshchevaja Balka is considered part of the Saltovo-Mayaki archaeological culture. The caftan is associated with a pair of silk leggings with linen feet, also in the Met. Along
