Abstract: Dress has always been a distinctive mark of a historical period. The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive study of dance costumes in use during the Kotte period. Two ivory caskets at present in the Munich Treasury reveal an interesting representation of period dance costume. This attire was inspired by South Indian culture. A profusion of jewelry and an abundance of drapery signified that these dresses were definitely utilized by the court performers of the period.
