I'm wondering about the Fool's outfit. Is he wearing boots or stockings and shoes? What is his hat made of, it looks like fur? Is his dress traditional? If so, what time period is it from, 1880s?Kat Duncanhttp://www.katduncan.net/writeaboutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-11695419352563715042013-02-20T13:58:22.041-05:002013-02-20T13:58:22.041-05:00:) Jai, thank you.
