Cap

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white lace cap. The lace is white and features intricate floral patterns and designs. The lace has a long, thin section at the top that tapers to a point, with a small loop or tag attached to it. The main body of the lace is rounded and has a scalloped edge, with a dense floral pattern throughout. The lace appears to be made up of many small flowers, leaves, and stems that are intricately woven together. The background of the image is solid black. The lace cap appears to be hanging from a thin white string.
