Fichu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Fichu by an unknown artist is a piece of off-white lace. The lace is shaped like a wide, curved band with pointed ends. There are two birds present. The lace features intricate floral and leaf patterns throughout and along the edges. The lace appears to be made from a delicate, possibly linen or cotton, thread. A small piece of tape is stuck to the top left corner. The background is dark brown.
