This just struck me as quite a beautiful thing, with the old tape giving her a helmet of sorts, or really perhaps more like a sort of bathing cap, and so, to my eye, making her feel quite animate. (And also like a woman who has worn many hats!) I believe the wooden form dates to the early 20th century, and I think has quite a lovely shape to it.
Head sized: approx 10" t x 6 3/4" w x 7 1/2". Tape is very well attached, and all with quite a wonderful patina.
