Cut ornamental flakes have been used as ornamental ground and, to a very limited extent, picotised braids. The upper side is finished with a separately cloned strap.

The short sides are cut diagonally., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1740 - c. 1760, linen (material), old Brabant lace, l 73 cm × w 6 cm ×, 51 cm
