Cloak
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Hooded cloak of dark blue mohair, lined with green wool in the body and partially lined with light blue silk taffeta in the hood. Small, rounded turn-down collar, edge piped with light blue silk. Two hooks and eyes at neck. Hood is very full, and bound with the same light blue silk; a drawstring runs through a channel set back from the edge, which creates a ruffle. Body lining includes a narrow panel of slightly different (coarser) green wool, and ends several inches above hem of cloak. Hand sewn.
