Cleveland Museum of Art

White bobbin lace edging with repeating pattern of points. The edging is long and narrow, horizontal across image. It features intricate, interconnected loops and stitches. The pattern consists of a series of triangular points, each with a similar design, hanging down from a straight top edge. The loops and stitches form a delicate, lacy texture. The background is solid black, providing contrast to the white lace. The lace appears to be made of a thin, white thread or yarn. The overall design is symmetrical, with identical patterns on either side. The bottom edge of the lace features a series of pointed shapes. The artist is unknown, but the style is characteristic of traditional bobbin lace. The title is "Bobbin Lace (Plaited Lace) Edging of Points".
