Lace

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two long, narrow pieces of gold-colored lace. The lace has intricate floral patterns and a scalloped edge on both sides. The lace appears to be old and worn, with some areas frayed or damaged. The pieces are laid flat on a dark gray surface, possibly a table or background. Two small white cards with handwritten text are placed to the left of the lace pieces. The text on the cards is not legible. The overall appearance suggests that the lace is being displayed or documented for preservation or study purposes. Lace, by an unknown artist.
