Catalonian Blonde Mantilla - tres

Need measurements.
Excellent condition.
Displayed on a manikin with a faux tortoiseshell comb in the Los Alamos Mesa Public Library exhibition, "Handmade Lace, from Fine Art to Folk Art", 07/05/2008 to 08/02/2008. The headpiece should probably have been pulled to the back of the head and fastened with a brooch.

A three-part (tres) Catalonian Blonde mantilla. The center piece is roughly a long triangle, edged below with a flounce, and including a rectangular headpiece along the top edge. Fairly rare to find a complete piece.
