Needlepoint (Cutwork) Lace Swaddling Band

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, beige-colored lace strip with intricate cutwork design. The strip features a repeating pattern of diamond shapes and small flowers or dots. Two rows of small holes run along the top and bottom edges. A decorative braid or cord is attached to one end, with two long tails extending upwards and to the right. The background is solid black. The lace appears to be a type of cutwork lace, likely used for decorative purposes such as on clothing or textiles.
