Cap
Not on view
This headpiece is an elaborate example of the Victorian custom of creating jewelry and other accessories from the hair of loved ones. Designed in the style of a mid-nineteeenth-century snood, this cap approximates a hairstyle of the day. Unusual in its concept, it may have been meant to be worn completely over the wearer's hair or perhaps under a hat.
