This fringed capelet from an emerald green Cantonese opera costume is embellished with light and dark green sequins. The sequins appear in an abstract scroll pattern all over front and back of jacket and along stand-up collar, possibly with a lotus bridging either side of front closure. The fringe along the scalloped edge of the hem is a white to green ombré.
