Quote:Sean Manning: the kandys is shown as being worn by many of the figures at Persepolis and is shown as being bought as tribute. We can say it was definatley in use buy the late 6th century.Could you give me some references or links to photos? Pictures of tribute aren't proof that a garment was part of Median dress. (Edit: Nevermind, Encyclopaedia Iranica has a photo from the Apadana (build under Darius I) of a man in Median dress with a kandys. Its at this URL)

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
