Not on view

View in three quarters of a design for a headpiece, made up of a large shell motif, flanked to the sides by scrolling acanthus leaves, forming a crown that composes the body of the headpiece, and containing a rich bundle of large, scrolling feathers. The head wearing the piece has long, curly hair; a cravat tied around the neck is sketched under the face.
