| Place of origin |
Trousers to be worn as an undergarment. Generously cut at the top but with narrow legs. The trousers resemble leggings in that they are open at the back (or front?) but the legs overlap at the top and are partly sewn into a waistband with long ties. The tailoring is complex, the garment being pieced together from several different shapes of material. The bottom of the legs are horsehoof shaped.
The trousers are in blue plain weave cotton with purple-blue plain weave silk lining.
