Summary
A woman's cap for a maid, made from beige muslin. The cap is embroidered across the entire ground with a self-coloured spot motif, with a slim machine-embroidered chiffon beige lace border and an applique diamond-shaped embroidered chiffon insert centre front. This acts as a channel for a brown cotton velvet ribbon, used for both decoration and fastening.
