Description

An ecru women's bonnet, with embroidered netting and silk ribbon. There are three layers of netting, which are vaguely oval in shape, and feature embroidered circles in the center and leaves along the edges. The silk ribbon is in the center, with most of it on top of the netting, and a few pieces between the first and second layer of netting; the ribbon resembles a flower.

Note

The tag questions what this object is: a dickey, or a maid's cap. The Excel inventory spreadsheet states that it is a cap, which is what I chose to go with; that assessment may be incorrect.
