An Omani member of parliament reportedly offered Mez US$1 million to buy this significant piece of traditional Arabian clothing.
The black robe with gold trim is called a Bisht, which is a traditional Arab men's garment that only people of high status are entitled to wear on special occasions, and is a symbol of power. Omani parliamentarian and lawyer Al-Barwani recently offered Mez a million dollars for the Bisht on Twitter: Congratulations on winning the 2022 World Cup, the Arab Bisht represents wisdom and the power of the Arab nation.

Spirit, I'd like to buy tweed Bisht from you for a million dollars.
If he succeeds in acquiring the Bisht, Abbaswani says he will exhibit it: "I was there at the moment when the King of Qatar put the Bisht on Mace, and I was there to see it, and it was a moment to show the whole world what Arab culture is about, so please get to know it well. The Bisht will be exhibited to commemorate this moment of pride and to remind us that we can do anything.
