Bobbin Lace (Needlepoint Design) Edging of Points

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a piece of white bobbin lace on a black background. The lace is positioned horizontally across the top half of the image. The top edge of the lace is a straight line with a frayed appearance, and appears to be made from a woven fabric, possibly linen or cotton. Below this edge, the lace features a repeating pattern of two identical sections, symmetrical about the center of the image. Each section is triangular in shape with the base of the triangle at the top edge and the point facing downwards. The lace features intricate floral and leaf patterns, with curved lines, zig-zags and teardrop shapes. The lace is composed of a series of interconnected loops and stitches that form the design. The overall effect of the lace is delicate and ornate, with a intricate and detailed pattern.
