It is decorated and partly shaped with rows of parallel ridges formed by stitching the cloth in pleats on each side towards the lower edge. The front opening is edged with lace. This is trimmed with red piping, which also runs along the centre of the hood from brow to nape. It is lined with twill-woven woollen cloth.
These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.
The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
