This is a kurotomesode, most formal kimono for married women.
In its dyed pattern, exotic
shishi (lions) are playing with 'kusudama'(flowers ball).
The pattern is partially embroidered.
Textile is silk and has soft touch.
Its lapel is bachi-eri(folded lapel).
Discoloration is spread, and it's especially prominent about the shoulders and over the sleeves and the back.
There are other flaws such as stain.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
It seems no longer wearable for formal scenes.
