The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down; but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed BY the king's magnificent ermine robe.

Couldn't decide whether this is Instrument~Causer or plain Causer

I guess this is partly hard because it's a stative sense of a verb that could be causative. Involves force dynamics.

Since there is no implication that somebody was using the robe for obstruction, I think not Instrument. Going with plain Causer.
