I finally found it on the web site: <snip> Accession number: 43.243 Again they only show the back of it, and in this lighting you can't see how magnificently metallic it is. The museum now dates it to 1610-1615. I wonder if they disproved the connection to Elizabeth I, who died in 1603. Dawn ************************** Thanks for digging this out Dawn. Wow, the b&w pic in Digby sure looks different from the color MFA pic. And the restoration now has be wondering about the bobbin lace being an accurate type.
