Man's Robe 16
80" wide x 49" high
$300
SOLD
Created from strip-woven cotton cloth, these were joined, then embroidered in the traditional patterns such as "eight knives", and several other elements including the numerous eyelets called "a thousand ant holes". These garments would have been used for special occasions. They can be worn, the backs are decorated as well, or displayed by hanging.
This robe shows very intricate embroidered patterns and is in good condition, with faint stains on the front right and back center. Also a very slight discoloration around the collar.
