A long branch hangs straight down from the narrow tops, ending in one flower. The scallop edge is formed by a wavy pendulum of concatenated rosette flowers and one large hanging bell flower from the wave top. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground. The full work is made in net stroke and one kind of decorative soil is used, thicker contour threads run around the motifs., anonymous, Bayeux (possibly), c. 1850 - c. 1870, silk, bobbin lace, l 157 cm × w 60 cm ×, 20 cm
