Collar

Brought to Helen O'Brian from the maker by Kira Van Deusen in June 2000.

Round black fabric collar with multicolour applique and a soft brown fur edging. Along the inside of the fur border is a band of light mauve-blue decorated with evenly spaced small green beads, and thin bands of red and white. Multi-coloured, curving, geometric designs have been embroidered in a circle on the black fabric, around the central opening which is trimmed with green. Hanging at the front centre is a red, semicircular flap, with a light yellow trim. The triangular neck closure is secured with a pair of small, marble-patterned, green buttons.
