- This tightly tailored white cotton jacket--with projecting side flaps over the hips and a rectangular panel behind the front opening--would have been worn by a fashionable Burmese man during the second half of the nineteenth century. Known as an <i>ein-gyi</i> this example is embroidered in a quilted yellow silk displaying the wave and twisted rope patterns typical of Burmese design. It would have formed an ensemble, as shown, when worn with a <i>pah-soe</i> (a voluminous wrapped and draped) skirt. (See (0798 (IS)) (en)
- Short and drawn in at the waist, flaring over the hips with side vents, long tight sleeves; it is open in front, and to the right side a breast flap is attached with a single button at the neck and left open at the waist. The decorative element of the body mainly consists of narrow verticle stripes of simple zig-zag acheik patterns; the bands round the neck, the arms at the shoulder and wrist, down the front and along the lower edge, are filled with a more elaborate rolling wave acheik patterns and twisted rope designs.
