| Commentaires : | This blouse was purchased by William McLennan at Threadlines Gallery in Islamabad, Pakistan, in 1985 while he was on assignment for the Museum of Anthropology, which had a contract with the administration of Expo '86 to set up the Pakistan pavillion at the fair. The Museum purchased it, along with the other items in the 1098 accession, from McLennan in 1986. |
| Fonctions : | Backless blouses are worn with a long, gathered skirt or baggy pants as part of the everyday or festive costume. A veil is worn over the head and shoulders, covering the back. An embroidered blouse front like this one is called a "greban" in Threadlines Pakistan, but the term "gaj" is used in Colours of the Indus (see References). "Gaj" is also spelled "guj" in the literature. The hang tag attached to the blouse at the time of its purchase in Pakistan calls it a "greban. |
