Summary
A paper costume which would slip over the head of a cut-out paper figure so that both back and front of the figure would be covered. It represents an Oriental kimono or dressing-gown in pale green with a red and black trellis pattern, with red lining visible in the wide sleeves. An undergarment of pale blue and white check can be seen below the hem. With this are two small squares of card, one bearing the letter 'J' and the other a 'C' in black print. Total number of items is 3.
