Strip of bobbin lace with pointed oval and stylized males, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, Lille lace. The repeating and continuous pattern consists of concatenated pointed ovals along the underside of the strip. From each oval a round flower rises between two leaves, just like a stylized man standing up with two arms. There is always one square piece between the successive heads. There are always two pouches in the openwork ovals. The motifs are connected by a fine mesh ground, a lawn ground. The sparse full work is made in loose linen. The thicker and shiny contour threads dominate
