Embroidered Coat

Cleveland Museum of Art

The embroidered coat by artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky is a red garment with a curved bottom hem and short sleeves. The coat features a central design with two circular medallions. The medallion on the left contains a black panther and the one on the right contains a white yak. The medallions have floral motifs and are surrounded by small, scattered floral patterns and sequins. A decorative blue and gold border runs along the edges of the coat, with a distinctive blue and purple lining visible at the hem. The coat has a diagonal closure with a small loop and tie at the top. The background of the image is light grey.
