Embroidered Skirt by unknown artist. The skirt has a thick waistband made of beige fabric. The skirt is full and flared, made of numerous vertical strips of fabric in various colors including orange, green, dark purple, blue, red, beige, and lime green. The vertical strips are of uneven widths. There are two wide strips of fabric with intricate designs and patterns down the center; one is salmon-colored with a green and gold border. The gold sections feature white designs. The bottom of the skirt features a decorative border in shades of brown, blue, and gold. The skirt appears to be made of silk or another luxurious fabric.
