fun fact:
This small fragment was apparently cut from a much larger piece, perhaps originally decorating a woman’s dress.

digital description:
Lace was often used in large quantities to produce opulent effects of light and contrasting texture. Bands of this width may have originally adorned a woman’s skirt or petticoat, heightening the design and overall impact with its rich floral pattern.
