This woodcut by Cesare Vecellio from 1620 depicts a "bavaro", a type of Italian lace, in a triangular shape. The intricate design features a delicate and geometric pattern of repeating motifs, highlighting the craft's popularity in the 17th century. Part of a larger book showcasing needlework patterns, the artwork provides a valuable record of the artistic and technical skill of Venetian lace makers. This page from *Corona* is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
