Cape made from wool cloth.
Long description
Cape made from wool cloth. The cape is made from four rectangular fringed sections of textile. Each section consists mainly of red textile woven from sheep's wool. On each section of red textile there are three bands of weft-faced geometric designs in synthetic yarns. These designs are in black, bright pink, dark purple and green. At one end of each section of red textile the warp threads have been twisted into a bundled fringe. The four sections have been sewn together by hand and the whole hemmed at the top edge.
