content: Cape made of a half-circle of cotton batik fabric, machine sewn to backing of black cotton fabric, with wooden button at the top, where it would close at the neck. The batik has a black background with brown and off-white parang (diagonal sword) pattern. Border with different pattern (floral?), following the half-circle of the hem; the border is not sewn on, but rather batiked into the cloth, suggesting that this cloth have been made specifically for the purpose of making a cape, perhaps even commissioned for this purpose.
