a "Kuttonet," a durable, T-shaped tunic made of coarse, unbleached wool or linen, cinched at the waist with a sturdy leather cord to allow her to move easily while gleaning grain. To protect herself from the harsh Levantine sun, she would have draped a heavy, rectangular outer cloak called a "Simlah" over her shoulders—a versatile garment that served as a head covering, a sack for carrying gathered barley, and a blanket at night. Her look was strictly practical, featuring worn leather sandals for the rocky soil and a simple linen headscarf, with her skin smelling of the earth and the toasted harvest rather than the costly perfumes of a palace.
