Poke bonnet
Not on view
Because of its inherent fragility, the intricate fancy weave worked on this bonnet is rare, as examples like this usually do not survive. The striking color and design of the straw added an additional decorative touch to the bows, corsages, and ruffles that would have originally decorated the bonnet.
