ermine robe

Coronation white wrap

An ermine robe is a ceremonial garment trimmed or lined with ermine—the white winter fur of the stoat, distinguished by its black tail tips.

Ermine robes are associated with royalty, nobility, and high judicial office: The king appeared in his ermine robe for the coronation.

The fur's rarity and striking appearance made it a symbol of power and privilege.
