Small White Pillowcase w Extensive Figural Cutwork Embroidery, Showing People in Brittany, France Folk Costume , Children , Dog order , 18" x 16"

A rather small, 18" x 16", all white, linen pillow case with cutwork and needle lace bridges, also edge scalloping.
The design shows Brittany (Bretagne) people in their folk costume, adults and children, and a dog. Adults are plying instruments.

Since the pillow is all white, I inserted blue paper to show the design. My paper sheets were not long enough to reach to the bottom of the scene, so there is a separate picture ( third in the row) presenting the flowers at the bottom of the design.

The pillow case closes in the back with three mother of pearl buttons.

As for my identification of the costume as Brittany, it's because of the lady's headrests. Brittany wins, in my estimation, the contest for the most exuberant women's head-coverings in Europe. I'm showing some pictures. (Normandy is close second.)

CONDITION OF PILLOW CASE: Small defects: a brownish mark with slightly fraying scalloping at the top and a possible little repair not far, both shown next to pencil erasers.
Also, what looks a missing bridge in the order bottom left corner and and minuscule buttonhole stitch edging loss in the center, also shown next to pencil erasers.
Hand laundered, starched and pressed.
