Burgundy, red, and orange dashiki pants worn by Dr. Baba Chuck Davis. The pants are constructed from burgundy synthetic fabric, heavily decorated with orange, red, yellow, and green embroidery at the pant leg pockets, the calves, and the pant cuffs. The pants are drawstring and have double exterior side pant pockets just above the knee. The top edge of the side pockets are embellished with embroidered orange diamond bands with red and green accents. Each diamond has four (4) interior circular swirls. A similar pattern repeats at the pant cuffs with a single large interior circular swirl. Three bands of orange, diagonal, circular swirls outlined in red run down the pant legs from the inner thigh to the ankle. The pants pockets at the waist are lined with cream colored cotton.
