This is a photograph of a hanging choga garment. A choga is a robe-like piece with long sleeves and a deep V-neck in the middle. This particular choga is white with orange and blue accents in repeated geometric patterns and simple shapes. The bright orange lines are along the wrists, bottom, and vertical beneath the V-neck and to the right and left of the V-neck. Framing the orange linework are repeated feather-like patterns in orange, blue, and olive green. These geometric feathers are stacked in between small rows of other geometric forms: triangles in between arrows pointing up and down. Around the whole piece except for the shoulders are spread out diamonds made of small squares and small, sideways houses along the piece's torso. The garment itself has a very airy, light, breathable fabric texture.
