Pied
Pied means 1. having patches of two or more colors, as various birds and other animals; 2. wearing pied clothing.
Many have taken the lead from the King James Version's translation "coat of many colours" and assume that Joseph's presented him with a pied cloak.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic. (Genesis 37:3, NASB)
Note: This illustration of Joseph's cloak by Isabella Colette was taken from the 1998 book "L'imagerie de la bible" written by Emile Beaumont.
