Pelerine

Object/Artifact

Double pelerine made of fine cambric. Shaped to spread widely across shoulders with large sleeves, and front tabs extend down toward waist. Upper layer is smaller with matching embroidery . Design is satin stitched pinks, nodding at each point of the double-scalloped edge; along the outer edges of the large layer a plume curls above each pink; a large coiled plume appears on each corner of the small layer. The motifs are scaled appropriately for the area in which they fit.
