A long black wool jacket is decorated with intricate embroidery along its open front and straight sleeves. Bordering the collar, front edges, cuffs, and hem, decorative bands display small stylized animals and floral motifs in red, gold, blue, and pink. Vibrant pink silk lines the hem and side slits, while green silk lines the neckline. This embroidery is contained within narrow geometric borders, providing colorful contrast to the dark fabric.
