Strip of bobbin lace with long feathered and curling leaves, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, Binche lace. The repetitive fine pattern consists of long and richly feathered leaves, with splits and curling ends. Between the leaves two large flowers can be distinguished with many narrow pointed petals, such as with a clover flower. The successive patterns flow smoothly into one another, with a branching leaf curling over the flower from the preceding pattern. The motifs are connected by a decorative ground, a snow ground. The full work is mainly made in linen stroke with openwork edges
