Ceremonial Robe by unknown artist. The image shows a gray, short-sleeved robe with a round neckline. The robe features a design of four large circular medallions, each containing a central motif surrounded by floral patterns. A decorative band with a floral pattern runs down the front of the robe on the left side. The sleeves have a white background with a small floral pattern. The lower part of the robe has a striped pattern. A wide decorative band with a floral design separates the medallions from the striped section. The robe is displayed on a light-colored background.
