Needlepoint (Drawnwork) Lace Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a white, rectangular piece of textile with a wide top section and an intricate, openwork design below. The top section, approximately one third of the piece, is woven with a simple fabric. Below the top section, a repeating pattern of interconnected loops and curved lines forms an open, lace-like design. The loops and lines are made from a single, continuous thread. The background of the image is solid black. The overall appearance suggests a handmade or traditional craft. The piece appears to be a fragment. The color of the textile is off-white or cream. The texture is rough and organic.
