Yellow salwar trousers by an unknown artist, titled "Salwar": Woman's Trousers. The garment is made of yellow fabric, possibly silk or satin, with intricate embroidery on the lower two-thirds. The embroidery features a repeating pattern of small flowers in red, white, purple, and green. The top portion is plain yellow. The bottom of each leg has a decorative border with circular designs. The salwar is laid flat, with the legs crossed at the bottom.
