Dressing gown, banyan
Men's quilted dressing gown or banyan, with false waistcoat fronts, in hand painted Indian cotton with a naturalistic floral design. Lined with cream linen.
This item may have been used by an English official of the time in India - perhaps to be worn in a hill station when the evenings were cool since it has been carefully quilted (probably with cotton quilting). It is joined by red and white plaited cords and buttons covered with a matching crochet or knitted fabric.
