Skirt

MOA: University of British Columbia

Tube skirt. The skirt is composed of two lengths of dark purple textile stitched together to form a tube. One opening has a 6.5 cm dark grey band attached, with a small section of black textile included to match the width. The other end is unfinished. The dark purple is embroidered with columns of diamonds alternating between groups of two and four in red, white, light purple, yellow, and light green-yellow. There is an off-centre column of repeating diamonds - one column of white and red, and another column of light green-yellow and light purple, with the pattern mirrored on the opposite side of a plain band featuring the text 'GANGAW SPECIAL'. Collector's tag sewn to interior.
