This is kind of a fur “dickie” - total dress-up box from my perspective... Six tails down the front. I suppose there’s someone out there who might want it as it’s so ... funky..

maybe late 1800's/early 1900's to adorn some of those vast/gorgeous dresses

(some similar-ish-esque looks in my R Turner Wilcox book on pgs 324-5

Yes, I'm seeing this as a late Victorian or Edwardian fur. What does the lining look like? Any labels?
