Tudor and Elizabethan portraits often show ties at the neck, decorated with tassels or beads.

Each tie is made of a fingerloop braid, the plain end hemmed to strengthen. The other end has an attached linen tassel, which has been topped with a needlelace 'net', the style of which is based on the 17c Dorset high top buttons.
