From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

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