content: From card: "From tag with artifact: 'Sindi trousers 'shalwars' made of handwoven cloth called 'soosi'. Hand cross stitch at bottom. Brick with thin stripe. Material purchased in Hala, 18 yrds. at rps ?-3-6-0. Made up and embroidered by villagers of ___. Thru the kindness of Begum Parekh, Anson Dairies, Karachi. Absolutely typical Sindi. Collected by EJB (Mrs. Ethel Jane Westfeldt Bunting) Feb. 1961 for maid in Sindi scene.' " These pants were numbered 399272, and they seem to have then been put on exhibit (on the older female mannequin with the churn in NHB Exhibit Hall 8, case 21), prior to the pants actually being catalogued (as happened with other artifacts in this case). However, they were inadvertently left off the exhibit case list and so no catalogue card was made for them until they came off exhibit in 2005. As 399272 is also the number for toe rings in this collection, the pants have been given number 399272A to distinguish them from the toe rings.
