A linen embroidery cap is a rounded, close-fitting head covering. The off-white surface features dense, abstracted floral embroidery in the same color as the cap. Small, punctured circular holes are integrated into the stitched designs throughout. An un-embroidered but textured, undulating band edges the cap at the cap's opening for the face. A vertical seam runs down the cap's back, ending in a plain, rectangular edge at the base, extending further than the cap's front.
