Theatrical Costume for the Role of a Buddhist Cleric
Yellow fabric with a repeating border of blue vines and multicolored flowers. The border surrounds a large square patchwork design comprising 25 smaller rectangular panels, some with images and some with abstract patterns. The panels contain Buddhist motifs and symbols including a swastika, a white vase, a pair of conch shells. The fabric appears to be a theatrical costume for a Buddhist cleric.
