The vibrant orange brocade is elegantly trimmed with the golden glow of yellow silk and the charming pattern of checked cotton. In the corners, intricate eternal knot and tendril motifs are delicately appliqued with soutache, adding a touch of timeless beauty. Males keep their snuff bottles in so-called ‘daalin’, usually silk-made but exquisitely embroidered envelope-shaped purses tucked into waist sashes over the robe.
