Note 545 — Chapter XXXVI · TRAINING THE “SHĀHĪN”[539]

The hood used in Persia and in the regions around Baṣrah and Bag͟hdād is quite unlike the Indian hood. It is, in fact, little else than a bag of soft leather with two straps at the back to tighten it. It is nearly the same pattern as one depicted in Falconry in the British Isles.
