Stocking
Pair of black silk stockings woven with brightly coloured stripes up centre front of foot and framed with silk-thread embroidery in same colours. The letter 'B' is woven into the black silk at the top of each stocking. A second mark consists of the letters 'RS', embroidered with cream thread, also at the top of each stocking.
The 'B' appears to be related to the manufacture of the stocking, while the 'RS' appears to be the initials of the wearer.
