Physical description
This coif or day cap is predominantly brown with raised decorative cream bouquets at the centre back and on either side of the two front sections. The edges feature white trims and are bordered with individual raised cream heart shapes that create a trim around the front of the coif, and the top edge of the back of the coif.
