Christening mitts
Christening mitts by an unknown artist. Two off-white, antique baby mittens made of fabric and lace lie flat on a light blue surface. The mittens have a striped fabric body and a lace top and bottom. The left mitten's lace top features intricate circular patterns with a scalloped edge; its fabric body is longer than the lace, with a small white tag attached to the bottom. The right mitten has a pin attached to the top; its fabric body displays vertical stripes, and the lace section at the bottom also features intricate circular patterns.
