A full-length replica of the traditional Maltese Ghonnella is displayed on a mannequin. The garment is made of black silk with a structured hood and draped folds. A delicate white lace collar adds contrast to the otherwise monochrome look. The exhibit label identifies the materials (corded silk, cardboard, nylon cord) and acknowledges seamstresses Maryanne Falzon and Doreen Schembri. A sign at the base politely reminds viewers not to touch the exhibit.
