Hood
Object/Artifact
Entirely hand stitched hood made of soft brown silk, lined with pale pink silk. Long pointed brim, horseshoe crown, bavolet. All sections trimmed with the pink; the front half of the hood is quilted with black thread in rather large stitches. Remains of brown silk ribbon ties inside. Does not appear to have been worn with the brim flipped back. The back and bavolet are not quilted, suggesting this might actually be a bonnet cover.
