Description:This stole is made of an unusual type of fur - that of a lion. The stole was given to Mrs Sumnall by her employers in the early 1930s. Apparantly a member of her employers family had shot the lion during an expedition to Africa. The fur was made into clothing and this stole was given to Mrs Sumnall as a gift.
