fun fact:
The word <em>lace</em> derives from the Latin <em>laqueus</em>, meaning <em>noose</em>.

digital description:
In the <em>buratto</em> technique, the background pattern, known as the ground, is created by threads twined together. The tight twining on this ground contributes to the intricacy of the meandering geometric patterns.
