Place of originsouthern Iraq and southwestern Iran

The himiana (Classical Mandaic: ࡄࡉࡌࡉࡀࡍࡀ) or hemyanā is a sacred ritual girdle or belt used by the Mandaeans.[1] Traditionally, it is white, tubular, and made of wool.[2]

Etymology

Himiana is a Persian loanword, like burzinqa (turban) and margna (staff).[3]

Description

Unlike the Zoroastrian kushti, which is made of 72 threads, the Mandaean himiana is made of 60 woolen threads.[2][3]
