I have a soft spot for rick-rack and zig-zag patterns so I am charmed by this 16th century Italian bobbin lace insertion at The Met. Accession Number:20.186.53 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/220863
Pattern from _Le Pompe_. The image is from The Met’s copy of book 1, dated 1557 by the Sessa brothers. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/356989
