A burka ((グルジア語:ნაბადი) ', Svan: ღა̈რთ ', (アブハズ語:ауапа) ', ', ', (オセット語:нымӕг) ', ', (チェチェン語:верта) ', (アヴァル語:буртина) ') is a coat made from felt or ''karakul'' (the short curly fur of young lambs of the breed of that name). See article "Burqa" for the etymology of the word. ''Karakul'' being quite expensive, ''burkas'' were usually sewn from felt treated to look like ''karakul''. ''Burkas'' are sewn with high, squared off shoulders, and wearers will have a distinctive high-shouldered silhouette. ''Burkas'' were part of the customary male garb of various peoples inhabiting the Caucasus region. ''Burkas'' were adopted by Russian cavalry, and worn as part of the Russian military uniform from the middle of the 18th century until the 1850s, during the Caucasus War. Vasily Chapayev wore a ''burka'' as a part of his military uniform. Other items of traditional Caucasian dress〔Baddeley, John F. "The Rugged Flanks of the Caucasus", 1940, pp125-129〕 were the ''beshmet'', a soft inner shirt with a close-fitting collar, and the ''cherkeska'', a collarless outer shirt with a V-shaped opening in the front with long, wide sleeves. Across the cherkeska were the ''gazerei'', a row of semi-ornamental cartridge-cases, sometimes with decorated tops. On the belt was the ''kinzhal'', a long dagger worn diagonally in front. Below were narrow trousers tied below the knee and at the ankle, leggings, and leather boots. Over all this was the large wool burka, fastened at the neck and open at the front. It could be reversed to make a windbreak or used as a blanket. On the head was the ''bashlyk'', a soft cap, or the ''papakha'', a large wool hat. ==External links== *(Image ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burka (Caucasus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
