A cotton cap shown in profile features an upper section of fine mesh embroidered with circular floral wreaths and dots. Below, a solid fabric band transitions into vertical pleats at the rear. Intricate ruffled lace with leaf-like patterns trims the bottom edge, and thin strings extend from the back opening. The white-on-white composition highlights delicate textures, contrasting the translucent netting with the denser, pleated fabric and ornate lace border.
