Strip of bobbin lace with seven-lobed flower in eleven-lobed shell, Strip of natural-colored Genoese bobbin lace. The pattern is formed by a repetitive and symmetrical composition of two flowers that flow into each other, the upper one with six lobes, the lower one with seven. This double flower is placed in a semi-circular elongated shell. The pattern is made up of a swinging band in linen with a braiding ground. We worked with thick wires. The top edge is unfinished or cut, the strip is connected by a sewn-on woven band., anonymous, Italy (possibly), c. 1600 - c. 1649, linen (material), Geno
