The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a skirt by artist unknown. The skirt is knee-length and flares out to the bottom. The waistband at the top is wide and made of a lighter colored fabric. The main fabric of the skirt appears to be light-colored satin. The skirt has three vertical dark stripes on either side. On the bottom left and right sides of the skirt are embroidered flower designs with stems and leaves. The bottom center of the skirt features a larger, rectangular embroidered design depicting a landscape scene with trees, buildings, and people. The bottom of the skirt is trimmed with a decorative border. The skirt is lying flat on a surface, with the waistband at the top. The background is a plain gray surface.
