Glove in the Cornet & Drum Pattern, "JNF" at wrist

Example of a Sanquhar pattern glove in black and white wool to illustrate the "Coronet & Drum" design. This is one of several variations on the Duke design known as 'squares'.

It has the initials "JNF" at the wrist. Her gloves were displayed at various country shows over the years.
