Choli

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Red garment with short sleeves, V-shaped neckline, and ties at the back of the neck and under the armpits. The garment is decorated with intricate circular patterns and floral designs in shades of white, green, yellow, and black. The circular patterns are made up of concentric circles with small mirrors or reflective surfaces, giving it a shiny appearance. The garment is divided into sections by thin lines and borders, with a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves. The background of the image is plain and light-colored. Choli by unknown artist.
