Masked robe

Particularly striking garment due to countless magical pendants (for example: animal skulls, bones, small calabashes, rahia fruits, medicine bags, etc.). Partially blackened by smoke, soot and grease and foul-smelling State of preservation: Very fragile as objects come loose with every movement. Excessive handling not recommended.
