Needlepoint (Reticella) Lace Insertion

Cleveland Museum of Art

White lace with a repeating pattern of floral and leaf shapes on a black background. The lace is long and rectangular with a wavy top edge and a scalloped bottom edge. The lace is made up of rows of interconnected loops and stitches. The loops and stitches form a grid-like pattern with floral and leaf shapes within each square of the grid. The floral and leaf shapes are intricate and detailed, with many small loops and stitches. A small white tag with a black number "22" is attached to the top left corner of the lace.
