Engraving, part of 'Habitus variarum orbis gentium' (Costumes of the various peoples of the world), representing the costumes of men and women from various parts of the world, engraved after designs by Boissard and published by Rutz in 1581.
This engraving represents an Eunuch, a Caramanian, and a Muslim man. On the left, the Eunuch wears a short-sleeved coat over a robe with long puff sleeves and buttons down the chest, lowe-heeled shoes and a large, sphere-shaped turban.
On the center, the Caramanian wears a hooded cape over a long robe with long, wide sleeves, a large, spherical turban with a small bundle of flowers, and flat, pointed-toe shoes.
On the right, the Muslim man wears a long robe with a small white collar, buttons down the chest, and three-quarter length bell sleeves over long puff sleeves. A long hat covers his head, framing his bearded face. A fabric belt with fringed edges is tied around his waist. A pointed-toe shoe peeks from the bottom of his robe.
