Antique lady's folk costume headdress from Lindhorst area of north-western Germany. Made up of luxurious black silk ribbons attached to a stiffer hat portion with decorative panel on the top. Overall the headdress with all its ribbons is in very good condition with only minimal signs of wear and slight splitting to the front ribbons that are used to tie into a bow under the chin. These had a tendency to split from being tied. I have included several photos showing how the headdress was worn with the full Tracht in this area. A fine addition to your collection! I just returned from a trip to Germany so please see my other auctions this week for more German folk dress.
