Abstract
Abstract: Sumerian statues frequently depict individuals wearing a distinctive skirt or garment that resembles the Greek peasant clothing known as the flocata. However, these garments are much older and more intricate, giving the wearers a unique appearance. These garments are referred to as kaunakes, which come in various styles and have been worn by both men and women for extended periods in Mesopotamia.
