Bobbin lace strip with wide rivière, Bobbin lace strip of natural Brussels lace. Four different separate branches of ecclesiastical flowers (lily, pomegranate, bunch of grapes) fill triangular and shield-shaped fields, which are bordered by a river of wide c-volutes. The triangles are alternately high and narrow and short and thick and display a fine mesh, while the shield-shaped fields are filled with a coarse grid. Along the scalloped edge runs a mountain and valley line again of c-volutes, which are cut over by a fine closed flower garland, which repeats itself at the top of the strip.
