Sheepskin Jacket Medallion



This beaded medallion is on the reverse side of the sheepskin jacket. 

Here's what Miles said:
 
"..... The reason that they stopped and came back was because I was sitting in my red Farrari, dressed in a turban, cobra-skinned pants, and a sheepskin coat, with a real fine women - I think it was Marguerite, again - outside the Plaza Hotel.  The two white cops who saw this probably thought that I was a drug dealer and that's why they came back.  Neverless to say, if I had been a white person sitting in that Faerrari, they would have gone about their business."
