Fiziksel açıklama
A rectangular garment made from two widths of white wool joined horizontally. the shoulder seams, the arms holes and the front opening are oversewn with red silk. The neck opening is decorated with a band of embroidery, mainly with couched red floss silk. On the back of the garment, over the right shoulder is a tapestry-woven geometric design reaching across the entire width of the fabric. It is woven with gold metal thread with red and dark blue silk. The embroidered band around the neck was worked over this woven decoration. Other tapestry-woven abbas in this Collection tend to have symmetrically placed decoration.
