Strip of bobbin lace with mirrored S-motif

Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, Eastern European lace. The pattern consists of a ribbon laid in the shape of two linked mirrored s's, standing and elongated with a round cutout in each curve. In the center of the motif stands a stylized flower with six petals. The strip shows two of these s-motifs side by side, which are reversed relative to each other. With such a ribbon laid in curves, other shapes are also made on either side of this pattern, but these are partly cut off and no longer complete. The ribbons are made in linen stitch, as is the straight band running along the top of the strip. The leaves in the center of the s-shaped motifs are made in needlepoint. The motifs are connected to each other by a plaited ground. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight, with the bottom provided with picots.
