Subject: Unborn lamb skin

Dear Members
 
We are preparing for display a Chinese coat of embroidered silk fabric and lined with raw wool which appears to be on a very fine skin. The owners say the lining material is wool (and skin) from an unborn lamb. Does anyone know the name/term of this type materal?
