G2009.057Description
Lady’s dinner cap made of layers of black spotted net on a wire frame, with dagged edged lace all around. The edge is trimmed with elaborately pleated cheap purple silk ribbon with picot edges, with streamers emanating from a bow at the center front, secured in place with pairs of black seed beads. Small bows on either side near the bottom. Possibly used in second mourning although the violet seems a bit too jolly for that.Collection
