Venetian gros point lace was prized for its refined beauty long after its heyday. This maniple repurposes seventeenth-century needle lace, which has been cut up and reassembled into a new shape. This is part of the set 10.186.1, .2, .3, .5 that comprises a chasuble, maniple, stole, and chalice veil.
