A silk ensemble features a purple skirt heavily embroidered with gold floral scrolls. Above, a cream damask bodice sits beneath a black velvet vest and cuffs, both detailed with glinting gold patterns. An ornate silver and gold buckle cinches the waist. A light blue hooded cloak with gold embroidery and a magenta lining drapes over the shoulders. To our left, a blue sash with gold fringe hangs against the bodice.
