    This little cutie has a rabbit fur trimmed hood. The exterior is silk brocade, the interior is cotton with heavy quilted padding. The construction, the condition of the silk (it is sturdy with no shattering but it has that "streaky" look that older green silk gets) and the print of the interior cotton makes me think that it is art deco; 20s/30s. But rabbit fur trim? The trim could have possibly been added later but it is sewn into the seam on the interior and hand tacked to the exterior. I would think it was made for the Western market. The tag is printed not woven.
