Black silk bonnet that belonged to Kit Foote.
Straw base covered in black fabric. The top has faille fabric gathered for 3 1/4" with solid fabric surrounding the head. There is a large bow on top, 1 1/2" wide, where the two fabrics meet.
Along the bottom edge the fabric is pleated. It measures 1 3/4" in the back and diminishes to nothing when it reaches the front. There is a 2 1/4" trim of fine lace along the bottom edge that is detaching. Inside the bonnet is netting. Black fine grosgrain ribbon that is 26 1/2" forms the ties.
