Epaulets

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden brown epaulets with red lining on the edges, featuring a pattern resembling fish scales. They are adorned with numerous metal tassels or fringe, hanging down from the main body. A gold ball is attached to the top center of each epaulet. One is placed on a clear stand, angled to the right; the other lies flat on a surface, facing upwards.
