Physical Description

A traditional Persian woman's red bath wrap for use at the public baths. Believed by the donor to be wool. Embroidered in white with a floral motif in each corner with borders in a small traditional trefoil design with fine buttonhole outer edge. This garment is worn and old but the buttonhole edge has remained robust and even, preserving the integrity of the whole.
