Embroidered boy's shirt. Long-sleeved, collared shirt is made of mashru cloth, a mix of cotton and silk, coloured in vertical stripes of red, yellow, green and black with sets of small white dots regularly scattered across the red. Chest and back are heavily embroidered with flowers, mango tree designs, and 'v' shaped animal horns. Small mirrors are inset on chest, back and around cuffs, surrounded by sickle stitching. A decorative gold metal button fastens the shirt at the collar, with a plastic button at waist. Two ties on the interior also help hold the garment closed.
