While he was taking these photographs, my husband remarked that he thought the savanion looked rather like male Islamic headwear. Since the savanion is a close cousin of the turban, structurally speaking, and some Middle Byzantine women actually wore turbans instead, that strikes me as a rather astute observation.
Meanwhile, I am making good progress on the mantion, considering the fact that work and vacation plans have intervened. Hopefully, I will finish it before the end of the summer and can get started on the final, most important component of the outfit--the himation.
