Description
-
The first image is of a large cotton and wool purple robe with a textured golden lamé along the opening. It also has two large golden lamé-edged patches on both shoulders that run from front to back, the inner part of which contains gold and pink floral patterns on top of a black stripe. The patches have several golden frays on the lower ends. The arm openings are also lined with gold lamé. The chest area has a small oval-shaped brass plate that hangs off golden chains that are attached to the robe itself. The robe is pretty heavy as a result of all the lamé.
The second image is a zoomed-in photograph of one of the two shoulder patches, and the proceeding image is a zoomed-in photo of the brass plate.
The fourth image is of the sash, cotton, very long, and vertically striped with frayed ends. The stripes go in the following order: A wide strip of cyan, small strips of pink, black, white, yellow, cyan, maroon, indigo, pink, black, green, pink, blue, a wide stripe of black, small strips of blue, pink, green, black, pink, indigo, cyan, maroon, yellow, white, black, pink, wide strip of indigo, a small strip of pink, black, white, yellow, cyan, maroon, indigo, pink, black, green, pink, wide strip of mauve, a small strip of pink, green, black, pink, indigo, maroon, cyan, yellow, white, black, pink, and a wide strip of cyan.
The fifth and final image is of a large, plain, cotton, light blue under-tunic, which the performer wore underneath the robe. It is still inside a protective and transparent plastic laundry sleeve.
These items were made specifically to withstand rain, a common occurrence during shows.
Lehi wore these items during the Pageant's Old World scenes (~600 BC Jerusalem).
