Full description: |
A woollen garter lined with textile. The woven wool is green, pink red and purple and has been woven to form a geometric pattern. The garter has a multicoloured pompom at each end. Each pompom is attached to three small, and one large, plaited peices of wool with a tassel at the end. Two of the small plaits are of red, green, purple and pink wool, and the third is of pink and green wool. The longer plait is of pink and purple wool and was probably used for tying the garter on to the leg. The inside of the main body of the garter is lined with black and white checked fabric, sewn with black thread. The two garters are joined together with an historic paper label. Some white thread wrapped around one group of tassels means that it is in a folded position.
