Woman's cloak (chyrpy)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Woman's cloak, chyrpy, by unknown artist. The image shows a short-sleeved, knee-length cloak made of gold-colored fabric with intricate embroidery. The cloak is primarily gold with a central panel of red and gold geometric pattern. The gold areas are decorated with a repeating pattern of red, black, and multicolored designs resembling plants or trees. The cloak has a high, rounded collar and appears to be made of a slightly wrinkled, possibly silk or satin, fabric. The background of the image is light gray, and the cloak casts a shadow on the left side.
