Lady's mantle

Women's dress with silver embroidery. Open front gown made of red silk velvet with large boteh patterns made of silver embroidery with sequins. Wide borders at the edges, also with silver embroidery and sequins. Lining: ikat with large round patterns (green, yellow, white, red) On the back below the neck edge, particularly fine embroidery tapering downwards (silver, gold, light blue silk, green velvet) Note: This appears to be a reworked men's coat, as indicated by the fine embroidery on the back, which is covered by a headscarf in the case of women. The boteh patterns are partially cut through by the reworking. The secondary, roughly applied gathers below the sleeves, which identify the piece as a woman's garment, and perhaps also the reattachment of the border, prevent the cloak from being closed at the front.
