Afghanistan, Kuchi, ca. 20th century CE. A stunning traditional Kuchi dress - quite colorful (nearly all the colors of the rainbow) as the women's' dresses of these nomadic peoples are generally more colorful than men's attire - and most likely created for a wedding. Comprised of high quality fabrics, vintage embroidery, and exemplary beadwork. The skirt is made of royal blue velvet with a silver embroidered border. The bodice features elaborate beadwork and coin danglers, and the sleeves are comprised of a spring green fabric with embroidered flowers and embroidered and beaded trims. Size: 41.5" L (105.4 cm) to hemline; waist - 30" L (76.2 cm); sleeves - 19" L (48.3 cm)According to Richard Tapper's article, "Who are the Kuchi? Nomad self-identities in Afghanistan" published in the Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute, "'Kuchi', an Afghan Persian word meaning 'those who go on migrations', is the common generic term, used by both Afghans and foreigners, for the nomads of Afghanistan, as it has been for many decades. Most if not all the nomads, and indeed many long-settled former nomads, now acknowledge this name, yet in the 1960s and 1970s few of those so labelled used the term for themselves."
