Cap

Object/Artifact

Entirely hand stitched fine cotton with heavy cotton embroidery. Flat caul shape with ground of leaflets with eyelets. Two pairs of laurel vines across top of head side to side. Eyelets placed every half inch along back hem to receive ribbon or tape drawstring. (blue ribbon added to show form) Seems awfully small for an adult and unlikely for a girl...
