content: Woman's white cotton chyrpy embroidered with silk and wool felt appliqué in red, green, yellow, blue and magenta. Vertical stalks of highly stylized tulips rise from the hem, and a wide solidly-worked geometric border forms the collar and comes about half-way down the front. False sleeves fall down the back, and are joined at the wrist by a band of red cloth embroidered in black and white. The garment is lined in part with coarse white cotton cloth and is hand-sewn throughout; the lower edge has been cut.
