Lace

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Lace" by an unknown artist. Two long, narrow pieces of yellowish gold lace are displayed on a dark gray background. The lace pieces are placed horizontally, one above the other, and appear to be made of a delicate, intricate fabric with a floral pattern. Each piece has a scalloped edge along its length and a small, loose thread protruding from one end. The lace features a repeating design of flowers and leaves. Two small white tags with handwritten text are partially visible on the left side.
