394 MARCO POLO Boot( II.
CHAPTER XVI.
CONCERNING THE TWELVE THOUSAND BARONS WHO RECEIVE ROBES OF CLOTH OF GOLD FROM THE EMPEROR ON THE GREAT FESTIVALS, THIRTEEN CHANGES A-PIECE.
Now you must know that the Great Kaan bath set
apart 12,000 of his men who are distinguished by the
name of Iieshican, as I have told you before ; and on
each of these 12,000 Barons he bestows thirteen changes

curiously wrought with silver thread ; insomuch that
when they are clothed in these dresses every man of
them looks like a king ! `' And there is an established
order as to which dress is to be worn at each of those
thirteen feasts. The Emperor himself also has his
thirteen suits corresponding to those of his Barons ; in

costlier), so that he is always arrayed in the same colour
as his Barons, who are, as it were, his comrades. And
you may see that all this costs an amount which it is
scarcely possible to calculate.
Now I have told you of the thirteen changes of
raiment received from the Prince by those 12,000 Barons,
amounting in all to 156,000 suits of so great cost and
value, to say nothing of the girdles and the boots which
