Garment is thin and very long, made of light, fine fabric dyed a dark pink and covered with dots, blue on in the outer ring, light pink on the inner, with either a black or pink circle at centre. In several areas along the length of the turban the dots become more dense. At ends of garment sit a series of chevron patterning, with thin panels of gold embroidery at one end.
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.
Tunic with embroidery and appliqué. The tunic has a high neck, back v-neck opening, short sleeves and side slits. The upper front has a dense abstract pattern with circle motifs and mirrors. The lower front has horizontal bands of orange, green and pink with sequins. The back has a centre panel in purple with a bird motif, surrounded by bands in pink, orange, purple and green. The sleeves have many thin bands with sequins. The inside is unlined.
Long, rectangular textile with stylized flowers and geometric design in black on a cream background. There is a black geometric border that runs along the top and bottom with two stripes on either side. There are two differing, floral patterns in between each line of border. The centre has a black lozenge pattern. The ends are raw.
Square textile consisting of sewn patchwork layered. The edges have a triangular patterned repeated in different layers and colours; from red, grey and beige. The central design is red with cream cutout shapes creating a floral motif. Around the centre are beige, yellow, blue and red birds cutout in profile.
Long, rectangular textile of thin, tie-dyed cotton. The outer border of the fabric has been dyed red, while the rectangular centre is a deep blue. Both the border and the centre panel are covered in geometric and curvilinear patterns in white and yellow; patterns are comprised of small, yellow and white, square, outline-like shapes, with the centres showing the ground colour. Circular areas of red dye evenly spaced throughout the blue centre also feature designs with small white squares.
Small, flat, square, embroidered, envelope-style bag, detailed with mirrors and pompoms, made by folding and stitching together three corners of a flat, square panel to form a pocket, with the fourth corner left open to serve as a flap or cover. The square-shaped embroidered motifs, formed from bars of satin stitch, are grouped together into larger squares, arranged in an X shape, and are outlined in black. Mirror-work is incorporated into the designs and along the edges of the square. The embroidery is so dense that it completely covers the background textile. The seams are embellished with decorative stitching. There are small pompoms scattered throughout the design. Two thin fibre strings are attached to the corner of the flap. The embroidery is underlined with multicoloured cotton gauze.
Rectangular, embroidered panel (woman's blouse-front -- unfinished) made of red cotton muslin, heavily embellished with designs worked in metallic and multicoloured threads, and combining two different styles of embroidery. In the centre of one end of the panel (the top of the blouse design) is a long, narrow, vertical, dagger-shaped section embellished with closely-spaced mirrors and large, circular whorls made of coiled silver, metal-wrapped thread, laid and couched with black thread. Parts of the designs are worked in chain stitch and elongated square chain stitch. Rows of metallic whorl motifs also embellish two rectangular shoulder panels and two square panels at chest level. Black thread is used for couching the silver thread in some of the whorls, while in others, yellow thread is used, giving the illusion that the silver metallic thread is gold. Portions of the design are unfinished or incomplete. At the other end of the panel (below the waist level of the blouse-front), the designs form an apron effect, decorated with scattered, multicoloured X-shaped motifs worked in satin stitch. There is a border of temple-shaped motifs, flowers and mirrors at the 3 edges of this “apron.” There are raw edges on all 4 sides of the panel, and there is no underlining. Four glass beads (3 opalescent, 1 green) are incorporate into the design, but do not contribute to the design scheme itself.
