A Waskat coat brooch is an ornamental accessory designed to complement the traditional Waskat—a sleeveless waistcoat worn by men in South Asia, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Waskat itself is often adorned with intricate embroidery, such as Zari or Tilai work, and is typically worn during special occasions like weddings and festivals. 

The brooch serves both decorative and functional purposes. It can be used to fasten the Waskat or simply to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Crafted from various materials, including metals and sometimes embellished with stones or enamel, these brooches often feature traditional motifs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Incorporating a brooch into the Waskat ensemble adds a touch of elegance and personalization, making it a cherished accessory in traditional South Asian attire.
