About this work
Strip of natural-colored Brussels bobbin lace. A rivière in zigzag line is crossed by spiral vines, which enclose fan-shaped medallions. The motifs are connected by a drochel ground. In the rivières a coarser hexagonal ground is applied. On the fields bounded by the rivière stand twigs, to which flowers in the form of pomegranates, pears or winged insects are attached. The strip is presumably used or made for attaching to a cap.
