Two mistakes that I noticed right away: The ציץ is in the wrong palce, it is supposed to be at the מקום התפילין and secondly the מעיל is supposed to reach his ankles.
It's not a "mistake." It's a disagreement of interpretation. That said, it is possible that the drawing does not follow any careful reading of the verses, or any particular interpretation, and in that sense is a "mistake."
some more from this book:

ReplyDeleteRCK why would you follow anything besides Josephus (Antiquities 3:7:6) descriptions on the priestly garments, who was a eye witness?
ReplyDeleteJosephus is פסול לעדות!
ReplyDeleteHe may have lied and exaggerated about somethings, but I don't see a reason to suspect him of doing either in this instance.
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the humor angle of this post, here is a recent exchange between my well educated 3-year-old grandson and his mother:
ReplyDeleteHe: The Kohen Gadol wore special clothes.
She: Yes, I'd like to hear more about it after you come out of the bathroom.
Dan-LOL! I can see the faces in my head.-LFD

ReplyDelete"Josephus is פסול לעדות!"
ReplyDeleteRashi didn't think so. He's cited as authoritative by many in these areas. The ephod of the Temple Institute basically follows him.
Fat because of a 32-amah belt, maybe. :-)
