Needlepoint (Drawnwork) Lace Insertion

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a horizontal strip of white lace against a black background. The lace is made up of a series of connected diamond shapes with a mesh-like pattern. The diamonds are arranged in a repeating sequence, with each one connected to the next. The lace has a frayed edge at the top and bottom. The top and bottom edges are not straight but have small projections and indentations. The background is solid black. The lace appears to be an example of needlepoint or drawnwork lace insertion, by an unknown artist.
