Angarkha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Angarkha by this artist is a long, open-front robe with long sleeves. The robe has a shiny fabric that is light brown with a gold pattern of circles. There are two pockets on either side. A tie with a tassel is at the center front. A trim with a geometric pattern runs along the edges. The robe is on a mannequin with a light-colored neck and a small, round knob at the top. There is black printed text on the mannequin's neck. The background is plain white.
