Ceremonial Coat

Ceremonial Coat by unknown artist. The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a short-sleeved, knee-length coat. The coat has a mandarin collar with a triangular-shaped neckline. It features a central panel with five white, circular fastenings. The coat has a light-colored background with darker-colored designs throughout. The designs include two circular medallions with intricate patterns on the front, one on either side of the center panel. The sleeves have a vertical strip of patterned fabric along the edges. The coat appears to be made of silk or a similar fabric. The background of the image is dark gray. A small black sign with the number 38 is visible at the top center. A small white text in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
