Strip lace embroidery with oak leaves and acorns, Strip natural lace embroidery: fillet lace. The repetitive and symmetrical pattern consists of a triangular bowl with oak leaves and three acorns. The dish stands on a trunk with curling leaves and with a foot formed by a splitting chain of concatenated ovals, which runs like a pendulum in the foot of the successive (inverted) dish. The pattern is alternately reversed and embroidered in the doorstop technique, on a finely knotted network with square meshes. Contour lines have been applied around the motifs with embroidery stitches with a slightly thicker and shiny thread. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight., anonymous, Germany (possibly), c. 1600 - c. 1699, linen (material), embroidering, l 31 cm × w 11 cm
