Bobbin Lace Insertion without Selvage

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, off-white piece of bobbin lace. The lace has a repeating pattern of interconnected hexagonal shapes. The lace is made up of many threads woven together, with visible knots and twists. The edges of the lace are rough and uneven, with loose threads. The lace is presented against a solid black background. The title of the piece is "Bobbin Lace Insertion without Selvage". The artist is not visually identified in the image. The overall appearance of the lace suggests it is an example of traditional or historical lace-making techniques. The image is likely a documentation of a textile piece.
