Shalvar pants late 19th-early 20th century

These "Shalvar pants" are an example of traditional clothing from the late 19th-early 20th century. The dark blue velvet fabric is adorned with intricate silver embroidery in a geometric pattern, creating a visually striking contrast. These pants, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of anonymous creators who preserved their cultural heritage through textile traditions.
