Strip of bobbin lace with semi-circular lobed flower on a curved stem, Natural strip of bobbin lace: Valenciennes lace. Coarse wires were used. The short sides are sewn together. The strip may be intended for or used on a tablecloth. The repeating pattern on the center line consists of a lying upward bent stem with a semi-circular lobed flower attached to it. The flower is crowned by two curling leaves, between which a smaller oval flower springs from a short stem. Along the underside runs a regularly undulating band with alternating and reversing waves. Between the consecutive flowers there are always three pulps at the top of the strip and at the bottom, above the wave line, a stylized French lily. The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges and here and there a single large recess or a few small ones like leaf veins. The motifs are connected by a square Valenciennes ground. In the flower heart of the large flowers an ornamental soil is applied, a snowflakes soil. The top of the strip is finished straight. The scallop edge is formed by the undulating band along the underside of the strip., anonymous, Indonesia, c. 1900 - c. 1924, cotton (textile), Valenciennes lace, l 468 cm × w 13.7 cm ×, 12 cm
