Lappet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Lappet by Unidentified Artist. The image shows a piece of off-white lace against a black background. The lace is shaped like a wide, inverted V, with the bottom point facing downwards and the two top points angled upwards and outwards. The lace features intricate floral patterns and scalloped edges. The lace is symmetrical, with identical designs on both sides of the central point. The background is solid black, providing high contrast to the lace.
