- This elegant robe would have been worn by a man at one of the courts of northern India. The floor-length gathered skirt was popular in the 18th century, in contrast to the shorter robes of the previous century. The staggered floral design is typical of late Mughal design, and is often seen printed on textiles, as well as embroidered as in this example. (en)
- Angarkha (robe) of white cotton with repeating pattern of embroidered floral stems. Each flower is made up three gold blossoms of silver-gilt strip couched with metal-wrapped thread, with red silk floss centres, on blue and yellow floss silk stems and leaves outlined in metal-wrapped thread. The robe has long sleeves, opens at the front with an in-set 'purdah' panel over the chest, and a floor-length gathered skirt. (en)
