Notes

Element of the 'Ball' or 'Bascule' dress design by Frans Molenaar and André Volten. The dress ended with two steel half-spheres on the back, which could be joint together and were connected to the main steel ball for the catalogue photograph (please see illustration). While the dress itself became part of the museum collection, the ball was kept by Molenaar in his house as a decorative piece, and was gilt to fit in his 'golden' room.
