Cuffs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two white lace pieces, resembling cuffs or wrist coverings, are shown side by side on a dark blue background. The lace is intricately designed with floral patterns and scalloped edges. Each piece is roughly semicircular or semi-oval in shape, with the curved side facing upwards. The lace is made up of numerous small holes and delicate threads. The cuffs are symmetrical and appear to be made of a single piece of lace.
