Kulāf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stamp seal with a bearded figure in Sasanian dress, wearing the kulāf denoting nobility and officials; and a figure with radiate crown, both with royal ribbons. Attributed to the Hephthalites,[1] and recently dated to the 5th-6th century CE.[2] Stamp seal (BM 119999), British Museum.

A kulāf, or kolāh, is a type of cap that designated Sasanian nobility and official.[3] It appears on numerous reliefs and seals of the Sasanian Empire period.[3]

The kulāf is often decorated with pearls, on the edge and on the surface of the cap.[3] It may also be shown with an emblem or tamgha on the surface.[3]
