About this work

On a coarse and dotted mesh ground (square mesh) stands, above a semi-circular shell, an open pattern of a hanging branch with a flower. Valenciennes lace. Originally this strip was one of the parts of a strip consisting of four separate parts. However, three of these have been sewn together: BK-BR-J-259-A, -B, -C. In 1966 a slightly narrower strip was then added to the upper edge of the resulting long strip, BK-BR-J-321-A, with a somewhat similar pattern.
