History |
Stole belonged to Dora Sayers who is pictured wearing it in 1917 at Benares. The stole was used as a clothing accessory to be placed around the shoulders of a woman most often over a formal outfit. Many stoles are made out of expensive fabric used for formal occasions. This one shown here is made out of a wool and is used by a child as opposed to the larger fur stoles that are decorated with animal heads. |
