. "A linen coif with casing and original linen drawstring at the bottom. It is embroidered with red silk thread in outline and speckling stitch, powdered with silver-gilt spangles. Herringbone stitch in red silk decorates the front edges. The pattern consists of scrolling stems with pansy, woodbine, lily, pears, borage, cornflower, foxglove, carnation, rose and raspberry, interspersed with birds, squirrels, butterflies, snails and caterpillars. The coif is unlined and the original seam at the top has been unpicked and later re-sewn."@en . . .
