Collar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Collar by an unknown artist. A white lace collar with floral patterns and a scalloped edge. The collar is wide and curved to fit around the neck. Two pointed ends with a frayed edge are present on both sides at the top. A white thread protrudes from the left side. The lace is intricately designed with a variety of floral patterns and shapes throughout. A thick line of lace separates the wider bottom section from the narrower top section. The background is black.
