Cream and blue dashiki pants worn by Dr. Baba Chuck Davis. The pants are constructed from cream, synthetic, brocade fabric, heavily decorated with royal blue and white embroidery at the pant leg pockets, on the side of the pants, and the pant cuffs. The pants are drawstring, with side pockets, and exterior side pant pockets just above the knee. The top edge of the exterior side pockets are embellished with a blue embroidered band of circular swirls framed by a wavy blue line with circular flourishes on one side and a solid blue line accented with blue filigree. The pants have a similar circular swirl embroidery pattern on the cuffs but are also embellished with a blue band of cross-hatching at the bottom of the cuffs. The pants pockets at the waist are lined with cream colored cotton.
