DescriptionBaby's cap made from linen and lace netting. The tag identifies the cap as white, though the cap is so soiled it now appears tan. The cap is adorned all over with netting and eyelet hole embroidery in a leaf and vegetal pattern, including three concentric circles surrounding the very crown of the head. The cap also features a thin border of lace trim around the opening for the face.
