Descrizione:

Women's black cloth waistcoat with a band collar, embroidered with gold thread cord applied in satin stitch to form patterns of racemes, stylised flowers, foliage, pomegranates and small spirals that make up dense arabesques bordered by gold braid sewn together. The original cotton lining is printed with large vertical stripes. Only two of the small oval buttons covered in gold thread remain; the others have been lost.
