Curtains of elaborately-worked needle-work are often suspended over the entrance to tents of the great nomad sheikhs, and throughout Persia, at the entrance of summer tents, mosques, and palaces. They are preferred as cooler and more elegant than wooden doors. This chapter contains an instructive narrative: it is the first instance of donations made for the worship of God, given from the wages of the people's sufferings and toils.
