CHILD’S ANGARKHA
Silk, woven with metal-wrapped thread, and trimmed with silk
North India
Mid 19th century
IS.214-1953
Given by Miss E. Cobbe
Courtly children’s clothes were no less lavish than adult garments, as this child-sized angarkha, or robe, demonstrates. Generally children were dressed in the same kinds of clothing as adults, from angarkhas to saris. In some regions, girls and boys wore the same garments until puberty, when the girls began to wear more feminine garments. [01/08/2017]

- Warp-faced red silk, brocaded with rows of small single blossoms on stems. The blossoms alternate between silver-wrapped and silver-gilt-wrapped petals. The stems and leaves are woven in blue and yellow floss silk. A band of silver-gilt and silk ribbon (gota) runs from the waist at one side of the opening around the neck down the other side. A row of silver-gilt wrapped acorn shaped decorative fasteners line the upper left side. The robe is lined with a striped cotton and trimmed with yellow and green silk. (en)
