Needlepoint (Punto Avorio or Ivory Stitch) Lace Insertion

Cleveland Museum of Art

White lace piece with a repeating pattern, curved and slightly frayed edges, on a black background. The lace is made of a white thread and features a series of interconnected oval shapes with a mesh-like texture. The oval shapes are arranged in a repeating pattern, with each one featuring a central cluster of threads surrounded by a series of concentric loops. The mesh-like texture is created by a series of small holes and loops that are woven together to form a intricate design. The lace piece is curved, with the edges slightly frayed and rough to the eye. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the white lace. The lace appears to be a type of needlepoint lace, specifically an example of Punto Avorio or Ivory Stitch lace.
