The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has several double caps of this broad period where the striped or brightly dyed outer side is not carried through to a plain shade on the inside. Economy of materials and allows variable styles to be worn.<br />SallySally in Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204683949446976432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717179610965497307.post-14863306971082990882010-12-22T17:54:49.187-05:002010-12-22T17:54:49.187-05:00Excellent post, thank you.
