介绍（中）	这件连帽斗篷由奶油色羊毛制成，或maşlah，是詹姆斯·内文斯·海德夫人（爱丽丝·路易斯·格里斯沃尔德饰）1871年在巴格达度蜜月时获得的。maşlah采用缎面针脚大量刺绣，与服装面料的颜色非常匹配。流苏和缎带图案重复出现在前开口两侧和中背部的刺绣中，丝绸流苏装饰着风帽和颈部和下摆的前闭合部分。斗篷边缘有一个铭文，可能是重复了一个恰当的名字，下摆周围的字母大小要大得多。铭文也被用来划定刺绣设计的边界，包括形成菱形的花环，围绕着奥斯曼苏丹图格拉的书法徽章和皇家象征的风格化且几乎难以辨认的版本，以及另一个书法主题，单词maşallah，这是一个阿拉伯语短语，最常用于祈求上帝的保护。像这样的服装很少出现在博物馆藏品中，除了它们似乎最初与巴格达有关，而且大多在夏天由城市女性穿着之外，人们对它们知之甚少。也许内文斯·海德夫人买这件衣服是为了搭配晚礼服，因为这将是一件不同寻常、优雅的正式服装。
介绍（英）	Made of a cream-colored wool, this hooded cape, or maşlah, was acquired by Mrs. James Nevins Hyde (née Alice Louise Griswold) when she visited Baghdad on her honeymoon in 1871. The maşlah is extensively embroidered in a satin stitch which closely matches the color of the garment’s fabric. The silk tassels that decorate the hood and the front closing at both neck and hem are repeated in the tassels and ribbon motif that appears in the embroidery on either side of the front opening and at the center back. An inscription, perhaps repeating a proper name, edges the cape, with the size of the letters around the hem much larger. An inscription is also used to delineate the boundaries of the embroidered design, comprised of flower garlands forming diamond shapes surrounding a stylized and mostly illegible version of the calligraphic insignia and royal symbol of the Ottoman sultans, the tughra, and another calligraphic motif, the words maşallah, an Arabic phrase most commonly used to invoke God’s protection. Garments such as this one are rarely found in museum collections and apart from the fact that they seem to have been originally associated with Baghdad and worn mostly in the summer by urban women, little is known about them. Perhaps Mrs. Nevins Hyde purchased it to wear over an evening gown as it would have been an unusual and elegant piece of formal apparel.
