Kerchief

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two white, semi-transparent pieces of fabric with lace trim. The fabric appears semi-transparent and is beige or off-white. The top piece of fabric is positioned behind the bottom piece, slightly overlapping. Both pieces have a semi-circular shape with a scalloped edge at the bottom. The bottom edge of each piece features intricate lace trim with a floral pattern and a scalloped edge. The lace trim is denser and more textured than the rest of the fabric. The background of the image is solid black. A small white tag with illegible text and a hole punch is attached to the top-right corner of the top piece of fabric. The artist of this piece is not visually identifiable in the image; however, the title appears to be "Kerchief".
