Strip bobbin with stars and wheels, anonymous, c. 1800 - c. 1824 Strip of natural -colored bobbin. The repeating pattern consists alternately of a wheel and an eight -pointed star. The circumference of the motifs consists of a tire made in form. 'Spokes' were made with braids within the circumference. A straight band runs above the wheels. Under the wheels and stars, a band runs semi -circular sculptes, with five lobes formed by arcs formed. Tires and arches are both made in form. The motifs are connected by a braid of soil, which forms coarse diamond-shaped meshes, such as with a Valencienne
