We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. |

Additional Information: A small tunic or shirt crafted from cotton cloth possibly died with indigo. The indicative aspect of the garment is the colorful embroidery attributed to the Wodaabe.
