Devon,
I couldn't get the Met accession number to work in the search, but
since you mentioned off-line that you think it's part of a chuppah,
I'll leave it at that. I've seen Herschel Shanks's article. I always
wondered how people identify an abstract piece of lace as "Jewish,"
let alone as part o
Leonard,
I'm aware of this piece of lace and have been asked about it before.
Honestly, I don't know. A local weaver has told me that there are lace

seen them.
These pieces are puzzling. Yes, they don't have holes for the frin

Hello All! Thank you Avital for posting the links--way cool!! Is the flat

to fill a space. This involved working side to side, folding/wrapping the

another question, could the name show that the jewish people coming from Spain
to Germany brought with them this handcraft? Because in the book of Jewish
museum in Praque it's named Spanier Arbit. Which sound to me Jiddish as lots
of Jewish people speak in former time here in Germany.

Hello Laurie and All,

issue of 2010.
During the congress there are several exhibitions and lectures. This program

I don't think this is any kind of knotted lace like macrame - it's hard to
knot metalic threads, and there doesn't seem to be anything about her
