A set of four ankle length wrap skirts worn in Ishtar of the Seven Gates. They appear to have been worn by male members of the company for the role of the Priests but also later by women.

Items Details:
The wrap skirt consist of a waistband made from black and gold brocade fabric woven with an Egyptian motif and decorated with two bands of metallic gold ribbon. The slightly semi-circular shaped skirt panel is made from a woven black, gold, and coral colored fabric. The skirt is edged with a deep fringe of thick black rope braids, each trimmed with gold braid. Attached to the waistband of the skirt is a long band also edged with braids - this appears to have been worn over the shoulder. These appear to be worn with headdresses C-718_1-4.
