Crown Section of Lace Cap
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses a piece of net (45 x 35 cm) that has been embroidered in preparation of being used as the crown section of a lace cap (hul). The embroidered net lace decoration consists of 41 rosettes. It dates to the nineteenth century. Such decoration is typical for the traditional lace caps worn by women in West-Friesland, in the north of the province of Noord-Holland, in The Netherlands.
