Needlepoint (Burano Point) Lace Bertha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image displays a circular piece of off-white lace with a floral pattern. The lace has an openwork design featuring various shapes including flowers, leaves, and hearts. The lace is scalloped around the edges. The center of the lace is a large circle, with a small gap at the top. The background of the image is solid black. The lace appears to be a type of needlepoint or Burano point lace, and it is likely a bertha, a type of detachable collar. The lace is made by the artist. The overall appearance of the lace suggests that it is an antique or vintage piece.
