- Description
- This child-sized tête en l'air from Saint Lucia made by Audrey Augustin is formed from a Madras plaid in red, orange, and white. The cotton plaid is formed with two wide, stacked bands around the head and a relatively smooth crown pulled to the center back where the fabric is twisted and knotted. A long piece of fabric extends straight upward from the twisted knot several inches above the crown. The fabric is stiffened with an adhesive or other binding agent as well as a layer of paper that is placed between the exterior and interior portions of the fabric that forms the crown. The knot at the center back is further secured with several metal straight pins. There are no labels.
