Cap

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White baby cap with lace trim, rounded top, and ties under the chin. The cap has a short, rounded shape that covers the top and back of a baby's head. A strip of lace runs vertically down the right side. The lace also borders the bottom curved edge. The cap appears to be made of cotton or silk with a subtle floral pattern. Two ties are located under the chin. The cap is titled "Cap" by an unnamed artist.
