Tool for a needle lace application in the form of a cotton rag on which a black leaf is sewn with white trace threads in the shape of a butterfly, Tools in the form of a black leaf in which the pattern of butterfly wings and a butterfly are 'poked'. The leaf or 'pricking' is sewn on a cotton piece of cloth and the pattern lines of the motifs are sewn through the leaf and the piece with white tracing threads. They were then filled in with a mesh lace base and the body of the butterfly (at the bottom) closed with festival stitches, with here and there recesses. Decorative stitches have also been applied. A white strip of paper with the text '4th ouvrage' (fourth work) is attached to this motif. The extra butterfly wings (at the top) have also been machined in this way and, moreover, a start has been made here on applying relief lines of funded bundles of wires. A white strip of paper is stuck with the text '5th ouvrage' (fifth work). When this work is complete, the lace of the paper and fabric can be cut and the tracing threads sewn through the paper and fabric can be removed. The extra wings are subsequently sewn onto the butterfly.
