Museum Europäischer Kulturen, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Berlin, Germany
This bonnet with a back veil made from rectangular, ecru-coloured and handwoven linen was part of a bridal costume. Besides embroideries in black and red, it has also been embellished with black, red, white, yellow and green glass beads, including white hearts (beads with a white core), and carnelean beads. Its lavish decoration makes it quite heavy.
