Metal Thread Lace

Handmade lace, woven from twisted silver metal threads. The ornament is geometric, in the form of four rays with openwork mesh between them. The lower edge is wave-like, and along the top edge is a wide, sparse border.

Monastery-made lace, produced in the second half of the 18th century.

Belonged to the pre-war collection of the Sloboda Ukraine Museum named after H. S. Skovoroda. Remained in the museum during the occupation of Kharkiv during the Second World War (1941–1943).
