Apron
Object/Artifact
One white cotton half apron. The waistband is very tightly pleated and double layered, so that a tie cord could be thread though, and there is no evidence of pin holes. The lower section of the apron has a row of white embroidered flowers, then a wide band of very thin and fine embroidered horzontal lines, and finally the scalloped hem edge with another band of white embroidered flowers.
