This is the very beautiful Cleopatra white-creme bath robe that was used in the Season 5 episode Antony & Cleopatra. It came with it's brooch, which makes it a complete costume. The cord was added by Barbie, creator of the Xena Prop House and former owner, for display purposes only. It was not part of the costume. The brooch is very heavy and would have eventually damaged the very light fabric of the robe without some kind of support.
