Bonnet
- Description
-
This bonnet has very elaborate trimmings of ribbons, net and bunches of white currants. The leaves are probably of fabric while the currants may well be made of wax. Wax was much used during the later 19th and early 20th centuries for making fruit and berries for hat trimmings and head-dresses.
