About Umbrella

Middle East
In the sculptures at Nineveh the parasol appears frequently.[4] Austen Henry Layard gives a picture of a bas-relief representing a king in his chariot, with an attendant holding a parasol over his head.[4] It has a curtain hanging down behind, but is otherwise exactly like those in use today.[4] It is reserved exclusively for the monarch (who was bald), and is never carried over any other person.[4]
In Persia the parasol is repeatedly found in the carved work of Persepolis, and Sir John Malcolm has an article on the subject in his 1815 "History of Persia."[4] In some sculptures, the figure of a king appears attended by a servant, who carries over his head an umbrella, with stretchers and runner complete.[4] In other sculptures on the rock at Takht-i-Bostan, supposed to be not less than twelve centuries old, a deer-hunt is represented, at which a king looks on, seated on a horse, and having an umbrella borne over his head by an attendant.[4]
