Tunic
A man’s tunic made from two pieces of finely striped red and white fabric. The two pieces of fabric have been sewn together to form the front and back with the seam running down their center. The sides of the tunic have been left open, with three sets of multicolored, bright tassels attached down the proper right and left sides of the tunic to tie the sides closed. A slit has been left open at the top of the center seam to act as a neck opening, and the edges of the opening have been trimmed in blue ribbon. The outside edges of the tunic have a wide, bright pink stripe with narrower stripes of blue, pink, yellow, metallic blue, silver, and gold threads in them. The bottom of the tunic has fringe made from red and white warp threads. A geometric design in many colors has been brocaded across the bottom of the tunic, above the fringe.
