    Very nice, Hillary - but I am not competent to comment on it. I do like the piece, for sure!

    So what do we got here?

     

    Byzantine crosses and what seems to be a menrorah.

    The silver (is it silver?à thredas work on the collar and the edges is reminescent to that of yemen, south west saudi arabia and the african horn.

     

    I guess this is an ecclesiastic dress from the ethiopian orthodox church or the like ( beta israel / falashas)

    It's most interesting to see you bring up these points, Ayis!
