Strip of bobbin lace with calyx flower under overturning wave, Natural strip of bobbin lace, Honiton lace. The repeating and continuous pattern consists of a band that forms breaking waves, with a hanging narrow chalice under each foam head. Between the successive chalices a rosette flower hangs from the wavy band on a stem with two leaves. Upwards, three stems emerge from the overturning wave, each with a smaller calyx. The motifs are connected to each other by a braided ground, with picotised braids. They are made in linen and mesh with openwork edges. Three relief contour lines are provided in each wave crest. A decorative soil with square motifs has been applied in the calyx flowers. The top of the strip is finished straight with a band in linen. The scallop border on the underside comes from the petals of the sepals and rosette flowers and is finished with picots., anonymous, Honiton, c. 1840 - c. 1860, cotton (textile), Honiton lace, l 50 cm × w 11 cm ×, 5 cm
