This traditional English headpiece features a distinctive triangular or gable shape framing the face, constructed from the white winter coat of the least weasel or similar soft materials. It was worn as a symbol of status and wealth by aristocratic women. The garment required specialized furriery and millinery skills to shape the delicate pelts over a stiffened foundation.
