BAG-WIG. - The bag-wig was evidently a very convenient as well as fashionable way of wearing the hair. The back hair was placed in a square or rectangular bag. The bag was then drawn tight with a drawstring, and a black bow tied at the nape of the neck. The bag not only served as a decoration, but protected the coat from the grease and powder of the wig. It was also to the bag that the silk ribbons of the solitaire were attached.

Gently used. Velvet.
