Lace Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, off-white lace fragment with a repeating pattern. The lace is off-white and has a repeating pattern of small, dark blue flowers or crosses with four petals or arms. The pattern consists of a row of small flowers or crosses on a grid of tiny holes. The lace appears frayed on both long edges. The lace is on a dark blue background, possibly fabric or cardboard. A small white label with black text is placed in the bottom-right corner. The label displays several numbers. The image seems to be a museum or archival photograph. The lace fragment appears to be titled "Lace Fragment" by an unknown artist.
