Herringbone stitch in red silk decorates the front edges. The pattern consists of scrolling stems with pansy, woodbine, lily, pears, borage, cornflower, foxglove, carnation, rose and raspberry, interspersed with birds, squirrels, butterflies, snails and caterpillars. The coif is unlined and the original seam at the top has been unpicked and later re-sewn. (en)
