Jacket
1870-1899 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This jacket is a functional but rough woollen garment that has decorated brightly, with four large eight-pointed stars covering each of the front panels. Each segment of the stars has been outlined with red and yellow or blue and yellow stitching to conceal the seams. An elegant black silk and silver tassel hangs from the centre of each star - a surprisingly delicate addition to what seems like an unsympathetic and coarse ground fabric.
