Description
Natural coloured cotton cape. The front opening, hem and cuffs are decorated with black machine made geometric designs and feather-like plant motifs. They are also edged in a deep purple-red plaiting.

Small deep purple-red pompoms line the neckline, and there is one at each cuff seam and side slit. Small multicoloured tassels with small white beads hang from the front opening, three on each side. The neck, cuffs, front opening and bottom edge are lined with a burgundy fabric. On the back, below the neck, is an embroidered rectangular area, coloured dark reddish-pink and blue.
