Waistcoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Olive green waistcoat with a high neckline and no sleeves, made of fabric with a smooth sheen, possibly silk or satin. Two rectangular pockets are positioned one on either side, near the bottom hem. A central strip of intricate pattern runs down the middle, adorned with small round buttons. The vest has a patterned border around the bottom edge and the pockets, featuring geometric designs in a lighter beige or gold color. Small white dots are scattered across the entire surface. The inside of the collar is beige. Waistcoat by unknown artist.
