Quilted cotton, bronze beads and cotton lining
Fiziksel açıklama
Robe made of pink cotton lined with white cotton and hand quilted through both thicknesses in a pattern of chevrons. The quilting has been stuffed or threaded with a cotton cord. The robe is straight with an edge to edge front and no collar, slightly flared at the side seams. The long sleeves are set straight into a squared armhole. There is a vertical pocket slit at each side by no pocket. The front edges and neck have been trimmed with a commercially made border of bronze beads sewn to a black paper backing in the form of fruit and leaves, which has been roughly applied with tacking stitches in black cotton. The bead border is probably of western manufacture.
