. "A coif of linen embroidered with black silk thread in back stitch and running stitch, and silver-gilt thread couched in knots. The pattern consists of repeated sprigs of holly leaves and berries. The coif has cheek pieces, but no widow's peak. The front edges are worked in black silk thread in knotted buttonhole stitch, interlaced with silver-gilt thread. The top edge is embroidered in black silk and buttonhole stitch. The top seam and crown gathers have been unpicked at a later date. The coif is unlined. The sides of the coif are virtually straight except for the cheek pieces, when seamed together the forehead line would be without a central peak. Patterned with eleven horizontal rows of tiny holly sprigs with minute insects in the interspaces."@en . . .
