A long outer garment of fine linen, the dress of rank in the New Kingdom. A man of standing wore it over the kilt: a wide tunic or a length of cloth wrapped and knotted at the hip, pressed into fine pleats whose folds fell like sleeves over the arms. A woman of rank wore a pleated wrap tied beneath the breast over a close-fitting sheath. The best cloth was nearly transparent, and Tutankhamun's tomb held tunics among his clothing. Herodotus, writing nine centuries later, reports that priests wore only linen in the temples, wool being barred there.
