Cloak

Object/Artifact

Wrap, entirely hand stitched thin silk satin. Pale greenish-gray body with pale pink hood, lined with ivory. (The images make it look more likely that the whole thing was once pink but pink and green do not usually fade in opposite directions.) Large, wide hood gathered with a ribbon in the center back attached to fitted waist-length cape with long, shaped, almost-rectangular panels in front, extending to ankles. Functional, narrow silk ribbon ties at throat, behind more decorative wide, thin satin ribbon ties.
