In literature, the term vesture often transcends its literal meaning as clothing to evoke deeper layers of symbolism and metaphor. It can denote the physical garments that mark one's status or sanctity—as when a queen’s regalia or a sacred garment is described in majestic terms [1, 2, 3]—while at the same time suggesting the way external appearances mirror inner character. Vesture might also signal transformation or decay, portraying how the splendid fabric of identity can be tarnished by time and neglect or even stained by the violence of circumstance [4, 5, 6, 7]. In this way, the word serves as a rich emblem of both the tangible and the transient, linking external beauty and authority with the deeper, often impermanent, nature of human existence [8, 9].
