Mid 1800s angarkha from Northern India. "Courtly children’s clothes were no less lavish than adult garments, as this child-sized angarkha, or robe, demonstrates. Generally children were dressed in the same kinds of clothing as adults, from angarkhas to saris." This robe is made of red silk woven with silver and gold flowers in metal-wrapped thread, lined with cotton and trimmed with silk.
