ermined
Draped in white
Ermined describes something adorned with or trimmed in ermine—the white winter fur of the stoat, traditionally marked with black tail tips.
The word appears most often in heraldry, describing a field or charge patterned with the distinctive ermine spots: an ermined shield, ermined robes of state.
Royal and judicial garments are characteristically ermined, signifying high rank and authority.
