Strip of bobbin lace with carnation between V-shaped fields, Natural strip of bobbin lace: Mechelen side. The pattern consists of a double narrow pendulum, which forms a concatenation of pointed oval-shaped cartouches along the underside and also forms at regular intervals with oblique lines towards the top of the strip of V-shaped fields. A large carnation on a curved stem rises from the pendulum along the lower edge and is always in the space between two consecutive V-shaped fields. The motifs are connected by a fine mesh soil. The motifs are made in linen with very thick contour threads
