Physical description
(a) Worn over the tunic is a short jacket, made in pale green cotton. Cut in an assymmetrical manner, the proper right is cut acutely to the armhole. The proper left front panel hangs on a slight angle, draping loosely across the front of the tunic.
(b) The Leaf print tunic, made in white cotton, has a simple round neckline and long sleeves. The hemline edge is slightly curved with slits at each side, giving the garment extra volume. Hand screenprinted with a random placement print, the tunic is decorated with tiny leaf print falling delicately across the surface.
(c) - (g) Five sitting mats, covered with matching leaf print fabric.
