Strip of bobbin lace with zigzag pendulum above an edge with s-volutes, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Mechelen side. The pattern along the upper half of the strip consists of a slightly irregular zig-zag thin pendulum, with leaves on either side. The zizag valleys are alternately cut over by a loose flower basket with a rosette flower between leaves or by a large leaf that springs from the pattern that fills the lower half of the strip. This pattern consists of two different, lying s-volutes with incised leaves, feather leaves and clusters of three rosette flowers. The s-volutes are linked to each other and alternate alternately. The motifs are connected by a nice mesh ground, a Mechelen ground. The full work is largely made in linen stroke and very limited in net stroke, with thicker and shiny contour threads. Ornamental soils have been applied in and around the s-volutes, including a snowflake soil and a soil decorated with pulpes made in shaping. The top of the strip is finished with a separately clotted strap. The irregular shell edge along the underside of the strip follows the pattern and is provided with picots., anonymous, Belgium (possibly), c. 1900 - c. 1914, linen (material), Mechlin (lace), l 175 cm × w 9 cm ×, 13.4 cm
