P3 has note
| - A coif of linen embroidered with silks of red, pink, blue and green, and silver thread in couching stitches, and silver-gilt thread in threaded running stitch. The pattern consists of scrolling stems bearing leaves, strawberries, pears, acorns, peapods, honeysuckle, roses and other flowers. The coif is turned and hemmed at the bottom to form a casing for a narrow linen tape. There are cheek pieces, but no widow's peak and the whole front edge is bordered with silver bobbin lace with silver spangles. The embroidery is unfinished at the top and around the edges, with pen and ink lines still visible and some motifs worked only in outline. The top seam and crown appear to have been sewn up later.
