Near & Middle East: Kurdish
Horniman Museum & Gardens
The Horniman collection includes about sixty items of Kurdish clothing from the Iran/Iraq border, including complete outfits from a chief and a farmer, and daggers. They were collected by C J Edmonds in 1925. He collected in the villages of Pizhoar, Mangur, Mamish and Ujaq. He wrote several publications about the Kurds of the Lurs region and in Turkey. The Horniman also holds a donkey whip and a floor felt made by Kurds.
