About this work

Fragment of natural-colored Genoese bobbin lace. The fragment consists of one half oval-shaped scallop and is presumably a part of a strip. Along the rounding of the half oval stand one above the other two interlocking circles with a wheel in each circle. The half oval is itself set off with seven semi-circular scallops. The ribbon-shaped motifs are connected to each other by a braid ground. The top of the scallop is set off with a strip of linen with lace embroidery, work with drawn threads.
