Retro Post - Black Work Coif




Black Work coif I have made.  It is based on a piece of Black Work in the Carew-Pole collection in the Bath Costume Museum in Bath England.  The pattern was created by Lauren Mellin.  Using a pattern is very period.  These types of embroidered coifs were worn from about 1570 to 1630 (or later by lower social classes).  This is the third embroidered coif I have made.
