From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
The obvious need to protect one's clothing while getting a hair cut is recognized the world over. In many places this procedure is performed outside, often in a public area such as a street or courtyard. In such circumstances clients would like to look their best and this elaborately decorative cover would be a definitive statement of opulence and by inference, elevated social standing. Turkey, Asia
