Bobbin Lace (Mezzo Punto) Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Square-shaped bobbin lace fragment, "Bobbin Lace (Mezzo Punto) Fragment" by unknown artist. The lace is off-white or cream-colored. The lace features intricate floral and scrollwork designs. There are circular motifs with floral patterns in the center and scrolling lines that connect them. The lace has a dense, woven appearance with a textured surface. The edges are rough and uneven, suggesting it was cut or broken off from a larger piece. The background of the image is solid black. The lace appears to be made of a delicate, possibly linen or cotton, thread. The overall design is symmetrical, with a repeating pattern of floral and scrollwork motifs.
