Cape sleeved jacket with long, mermaid style fishtail made of an iridescent synthetic fabric lined with green synthetic silk and decorated with strands of couched wool in a fish scale design. Thought to have been made and used as a costume for a masque or play at The Glasgow School of Art in the early-mid 20th century.
The photograph features fourteen women representing a scene. One of the women is on her knees, head bowed. There is a sign with the words 'A daft lot'.
The reverse of the photograph shows a text addressed to Archibald Haswell Miller.
