Caiaphas  should have a breastplate (large square pendant 
on  chain) with 12 stones  on it, as he was the high priest.  He also  
should have a  beard.



Thanks to both--I did find Flavius Josephus's description of priestly garb  
in his "History of the Jewish People."  So I read about the vestment  (with 
fringe and bells around the bottom), sash, and breastplate.  He says  the 
vestment was blue, so I'm assuming the shellfish blue still used in  prayer 
shawls; 
however, I think the pageant coordinator is going to insist on  black.  I 
figure I can live with black as long as I can do the sash,  fringe, and 
breastplate 
and an appropriate headdress.   
 
My husband has a beard--I think that is one reason he got the part.
 
I'm pretty sure I can do this without patterns, but thanks for the  links.
