Needlepoint (Punto Avorio or Ivory Stitch) Lace Insertion and Points

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a white piece of needlepoint lace with a floral pattern. The lace is long and rectangular, wider at the top than at the bottom. The top section of the lace features a repeating pattern of flowers made from interconnected loops and stitches. The bottom section has a decorative edge with a series of rounded, scalloped shapes. Each scallop is composed of small loops and stitches that form a semi-circular shape, with a row of small tassels hanging from the bottom of each scallop. The lace is set against a solid black background.
