This consists of pointed triangular reserves with bar foundation, the contours of which are formed by palm- and carnation-shaped flowers and rocailles with lattice work (needle lace). Furthermore smaller similar reserves, connecting to whimsical branches with 'coral' motifs. Many flowers are adorned with rings in thick relief (needle lace).
