Strip of natural-coloured bobbin lace: old Flemish bobbin lace. The repeating and largely symmetrical pattern consists of a double volute, which is mirrored over the width axis and below that a semi-circular shell, which is formed by a spiral. The motifs are formed by bobbin lace ribbons, made in linen stitch with openwork edges. The spiral is surrounded by a regularly winding narrower ribbon. Between the mirrored volutes crosses are made with shaped strokes. The motifs are connected to each other by braids. The upper edge is finished with a separate bobbin lace band. Lacemaker: anonymous, Tonderen (possibly), c. 1625 - c. 1649. .
