About this work

Strip of natural-colored woven lace. The repeating and symmetrical pattern consists of a hexagonal field from which a half plume flower hangs down from the top edge of the strip to the bottom edge of the strip. The hexagonal fields are formed by an x-shaped motif with a diamond in the center. The top and bottom edges of the strip are finished straight, with the bottom edge provided with picots.
