About this work
Stola of natural-colored machine lace: machine blonde. Long rectangular model. The symmetrical pattern consists of various large flowers. In the center, a relatively smaller flower is situated along one of the long sides, with two c-volutes turned away from each other along the other long side, flanked by a c-volute formed by linked rosette flowers. The ends of the stola are formed by two different, outward-pointing three-lobed flowers. The flower pattern forms around a shell border finished with picots. Behind a damaged section, a rectangular piece of machine tulle with a scatter pattern of large rosettes has been set.
