Description

Shoulder cape. Long and narrow with a woven flax band at top that holds four long braided and twisted ties at the upper corners. Long braids of flax are attached to the band and fall down in front of the cape’s open weave middle section, mixing with a thick row of hanging flax stalks at bottom. The stalks are the unprocessed ends of the woven fibre making up the rest of the cape, and create sound when moved. The top half of cape is decorated and reinforced with horizontal stripes of finely woven fibre, dyed brown.
