Sunbonnet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sunbonnet by an unknown artist. A beige fabric mannequin head and neck, facing left, displays a straw and fabric sunbonnet. The sunbonnet has a wide, flat brim made of layered straw, with a fabric overlay featuring a small blue and white checkered pattern. The bonnet's crown is covered in the same fabric, with a gathered and ruffled effect. A chin strap made of the same fabric ties in a bow under the mannequin's chin. The background is a plain beige color.
