Holes are left in the upper corners for the arms and another opening is left in the centre seam for the neck. The lower half of the garment is covered with bands of Job's Tears and yellow and red silk embroidery. Neckline and armholes are highlighted with red cloth and Job's Tears.

  • The simple cut of this blouse, in which two rectangles of cloth are sewn together vertically, leaving spaces for the head and the arms, is profusely decorated with silk thread embroidery and with seeds of a type of grass called in English "Job's Tears" (coix lacryma).
