Collar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a semi-circular piece of white lace with a U-shaped neckline, titled "Collar" by an artist not specified. The lace is made of semi-transparent white fabric with intricate white floral embroidery. The collar has three layers of lace with distinct patterns. The outermost layer features a scalloped edge with small holes. The middle layer has a more intricate floral pattern with leaves and flowers. The innermost layer has a simpler design with small flowers and leaves. The background of the image is solid black. The lace appears to be old and delicate, with a vintage aesthetic. The overall shape of the collar is semi-circular, with the curved side facing downwards.
