The body of the cape is roughly U-shaped, with unfinished edges; on each side edge, the cape is pieced with small rectangular strips. The top edge of the cape is slightly curved, and a triangular flap of goat hide is attached at each upper corner. A length of brown braided cord connects the two flaps, and there is a piece of twisted brown and off-white wool fibre loosely looped over this cord. On the hide side, three narrow strips of hide are sewn to the top edge, with the hair side facing outward.
