Almost symmetrical pattern along the lower edge with two reserves with mesh filling, crowned with volutes and with five flowers at the bottom. Between the two reserves a rosette flower. And on the outsides of these reserves two large flowers lying against each other. From the decorated lower edge spring curved branches with large flowers. The strip consists of three pieces sewn together and is sewn onto BK-BR-J-191.
