| - A coif of linen, embroidered with silk thread in shades of blue, green, red, pink and yellow in detached buttonhole and raised buttonhole stitch. The pattern consists of scrolling stems bearing leaves, borage, pansy, roses, columbine, honeysuckle, rose hips and strawberries. The drawn shape includes curved cheek pieces and a widow's peak. The embroidery is unfinished and the coif uncut. Sometime probably in the late 19th century the embroidery was finished with thicker silk thread in shades of blue, green, pink and yellow, in satin and purl stitch. An additional rectangle of linen was added at the back and stitched around three sides. The thread count of the original linen is 100 x 120 threads per inch, approximately. (en)
