About this work

Cap slip of natural-coloured needle lace: Alençon lace. Elongated scallops of a wavy ribbon, alternated with medallions with network, form the outer edges of a ground, upon which alternately a wavy branch with hanging flowers and pomegranates and a short flower branch stand. In the strip the pattern is symmetrical with respect to a standing central branch.
