Carnival of the Animals A mysterious bobbin lace piece with a carnival of the animals in a coarse point ground: Prancing Pony, Laughing Donkey, Loafing Rabbit, Hound dog, Sheep, and Rooster heads in the corners. Oh yes, I almost forgot the Elephants! Pat Earnshaw thought it might be Greek, only because we had no other ideas. Did Greek lace ever use a point ground? And what could be the connection between these animals? Calling out to lacemakers and collectors around the world -- where might this charming but tattered piece have been made?
