A coif of linen embroidered with black silk thread in a pattern of repeating holly sprigs. The motifs are outlined with back stitch and speckled inside with running stitch. Silver-gilt thread in spider knots form the holly berries, and interspaces the motifs with interlaced stitches. The edges are turned and hemmed in linen thread and decorated wit black silk and silver-gilt thread in superimposed knotted buttonhole stitch. The top edge is embroidered with black silk in buttonhole stitch. The shape of the coif is outlined in black and the centre is filled with eight horizontal rows of holly springs with interlaced 'spots' between the springs. There are slightly curved cheek pieces and no widow's peak. The coif has been unpicked at a later date. There are needle-holes along the lower part of the coif, just above the black outline.
