Cap

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of cream-colored lace against a dark background. The lace is shaped like a cross with a rounded top. The lace features a floral pattern and has a scalloped edge. A small piece of string or thread extends from the lower-left corner of the lace. The lace is symmetrical, with identical patterns on either side of the vertical and horizontal axes. The dark background provides contrast to the light-colored lace, making the details of the lace visible. The piece of lace is titled "Cap" by an artist not specified.
