ermine robes

Ermine robes are ceremonial garments trimmed or lined with the white winter fur of the stoat, distinguished by the characteristic black-tipped tails that create a spotted pattern against the white.

These robes have long been associated with royalty, nobility, and high judicial office, symbolizing power and elevated status.

British monarchs wear ermine at coronations, and judges in some jurisdictions still don ermine-trimmed robes for formal occasions.
