Anotations

Scope note:

Distinctive women's headgear unique to the Netherlands. The earliest forms comprised simple iron bands holding lace caps in place. Later versions were more decorative; by the 19th century they had become elaborate headdresses often made of gold and worn over an under cap. The style indicated the province of origin and social status of the wearer.
