Women surcoat with tippets
Women's surcoat from the 2nd half of the 14th century.
It has 2 distinctive features:
- The tippets, white bands encircling the arms and descending in strips.
One hypothesis is that these bands could be removable. But we have very little information on this.
- Slits allowing access to the belt worn on the dress below.
