The gold trim is ornate and decorative, with a repeating pattern along the edges of the sleeves, down the center front, and around the panels. There are gold designs on the lower front of the robe on either side, and on the upper sleeves. The robe is displayed on a headless mannequin. The background is plain white. The artist and title of the work is Choga.
