A skirt-like waist garment worn by the early inhabitants of Mesopotamia. It was apparently originally made of sheepskin, but by the end of the 3rd millennium BC it had become a woolen fabric woven so that tassels of hair hung down. Women usually wore it like a shawl, draping it over the left shoulder. It is believed to have survived since the Third Dynasty of Ur only as symbolic clothing for gods and goddesses, but later Assyrian clothing also had tassels of hair hanging down, and the influence of Kaunakes can be seen.

メソポタミアの初期住民によって着用されたスカート状腰衣。はじめは羊の毛皮であったらしいが,前3千年紀末には毛房が垂れてみえるように織られた毛織物になる。女はふつうショール状に左肩をおおうようにして着用した。ウル第3王朝以来,神や女神たちの象徴的な服装としてのみ存続したとされるが,その後のアッシリア時代の衣服でも毛房が垂れたものがあり,カウナケスの影響が認められる。【井上 泰男】
