The repeating pattern consists of a regularly undulating decorative band around the horizontal center line of the strip.

Above the undulating band, the motifs are connected to each other by a fantasy ground with poisoned braids. The motifs are constructed with, among other things, outline lines in linen strokes or 'stripes', which are connected by crossing pairs, braids or decorative grounds. The top of the strip is finished straight. The shell edge along the bottom is finished with picots., anonymous, Le Puy-en-Velay, c. 1860 - c. 1870, silk, bobbin lace, l 131 cm × w 30 cm ×, 20 cm
