The thick and graphic darning, or area of woven pattern, depicts triangular and circular geometric motifs. In addition to the knotting of the thread (filet/lacis technique), the lace maker used thicker thread to create the bold and heavy pattern. Myrta Leonora Jones, the donor of this work, was a women’s rights activist in Cleveland in the early 20th century.
