Pelerine

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A piece of off-white or beige lace with intricate floral patterns and scalloped edges lies flat on a solid black background. A semi-circle of lace with two long points on either side resembling a shawl or cape. The lace features a dense floral design throughout its surface with small beads woven into the lace to add detail. A horizontal strip runs across the middle connecting the two points.
