She was dressed in red robes with a metal crown on her head, and paraded through the streets in a wooden cart pulled by a donkey festooned in red bunting.

Is festooned a noun?

No. Festooned is a past participle of the verb (festoon), used as an adjecttve.

Hmm

That makes sense
Thanks so much =)

No, "festooned" is not a noun. It is actually a verb derived from the noun "festoon," which refers to a decorative chain or garland of flowers, leaves, or other objects. When something is "festooned," it means that it is adorned or decorated with festoons. In the given sentence, "festooned" describes how the donkey in the procession is decorated with red bunting. To determine if a word is a noun or not, you can consult a dictionary or look at its grammatical function in a sentence. In this case, "festooned" functions as a verb, describing the action of decorating with festoons.
