A short note from The Connoisseur on a piece of lacis (darned netting) made of twelve squares that once formed part of an altar cloth or vestment. It explains how the square-mesh net ground was made and the pattern darned onto it, and traces the word réseau to the old term rézil or rezeuil. A halftone plate shows the panel, a grid of framed scenes from the Old Testament with decorative borders.
