About this work
Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace. The pattern is based on reticella and consists of two bands with braids that form diamonds and which are alternated by two stars, also made with braids. A narrower band with braids in the form of an x runs along the underside and top side of the strip and over the center line of the strip, between the two bands with diamonds. The top and underside of the strip are finished straight and both provided with picots. One short side is cut off and the other is finished with a border with a zigzag pattern and long pointed scallops.
