Heart, stalk and leaves are all made in linen, in more or less the same width. Along the straight underside runs a decorative border with square form layers between two narrow bands. A fringe of linen runs along the outside of the rest of the half tea hat., anonymous, Shanghai, c. 1900 - c. 1924, cotton (textile), bobbin lace, h 21 cm × w 37 cm
