Fragment of a Band with Vines Surrounding a Monkey, Lion, and an Unidentified Four-Legged Animal

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of beige lace against a black background. The lace appears to be made from a mesh-like material and features a repeating pattern. The pattern includes vines or tendrils with leaves. Interspersed among the vines are three distinct animals. A monkey is positioned centrally, and a lion is located to the right. There is another four-legged animal with a long snout, possibly a dog or a deer; however, it is not clearly defined. The top and bottom edges of the lace are frayed and uneven. The lace takes up most of the frame.
