Doily (Yougoslav) c. 20th century

This delicate circular doily, created in the 20th century, is a fine example of needle lace from the former Yugoslavia. The piece displays an intricate pattern of geometric shapes, primarily triangles and circles, which radiate from a central motif. Its exquisite craftsmanship and delicate artistry highlight the skill of anonymous lace makers from the region. The piece currently resides in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
