Title A name given to the resource A ROBE by any other name Description An account of the resource For Nomadic tribes especially, the wool robe served as a source of protection against the harsh winters, protecting travelling men, women and children on their journeys across the Steppes. Beyond its survival purposes, the robe also served as a object of distinction, signifying an individual's association with a tribe, religion or political group.
