A model wears a hand-embroidered cape made from the silk of the golden orb spider in the Victoria and Albert Museum's Medieval and Renaissance Gallery in London. The cape is one of two golden spider silk textiles that exist in the world. It was made in Madagascar over a period of eight years from the silk of 1.2 million spiders.
