A Study on the Clothing Worn by Royal Uighur Children in Cave Paintings
By comprehensively analyzing the order of arrangement,identities,and clothing of the children of the Uighur royal family painted in artworks at both Dunhuang and Xinjiang caves,this paper summarizes three main features of these illus-trations:(1)The Uighur children are often arranged in front of their parents,and many children are looking backward towards their elders,which forms an interactive relationship between them.(2)Except for the toddlers,the headwear and costumes of the children are basically consistent with those of their parents:the boys are adorned similarly to their fathers,while the girls are like their mothers.(3)Many of the Uighur children have bangs over their foreheads and a strand of hair in front of their ears.
