This traditional Indian wedding blouse, likely from the 1970s, is a stunning example of the intricate embroidery and mirror work known as *shisha* work. The vibrant green silk is adorned with elaborate patterns of geometric and floral motifs, all meticulously crafted with colorful threads and tiny mirror pieces. This type of garment was worn by brides during their wedding celebrations and often incorporated intricate details to reflect their status and wealth.
