. . . "A linen coif embroidered with black silk in chain and back stitches, with silver-gilt thread in plaited-braid stitch. The pattern consists of scrolling stems outlined in black and filled with silver-gilt, bearing roses, honeysuckle, pomegranate, carnation, pansies, acorns, and pears, worked in black and embellished with silver-gilt. The individual motifs are filled with repeating geometrical patterns worked in back stitch. The outline of the coif is embroidered in black silk in stem stitch. The coif has cheek-pieces and a widow's peak and turned casing at the bottom. Remaining threads suggest that a lace border was once sewn to the front edges. The top seam and crown gathers have been unpicked at a later date."@en .
