Cuffs

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This is a very unusual piece because of the incorporation of gold metallic thread and linen and the use of a pre-made tape at such an early date. The naive drawing style of the design indicates that it was not made for an important personage, giving it a personal charm.
