Machine Lace Barb

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, horizontal piece of intricately designed lace, titled "Machine Lace Barb" by an unspecified artist. The lace is symmetrical, with identical patterns at both ends. The lace has a scalloped edge along its entire length. The central section features a repeating pattern of curved lines and shapes. Floral motifs are present on either side of the central section. The lace appears to be made from a single piece of material, with no visible joins or seams. The background of the image is plain and light-colored, providing contrast to the detailed lace.
