A horizontally long off-white bobbin lace strip features a repeating sequence of stylized human figures and blooming plants against a fine diamond mesh background. From our left, three men depicted mid-stride with raised arms alternate with three women standing in wide skirts with hands on hips. Elaborate, flowering trees separate each figure across the strip. A delicate, scalloped border runs along the bottom edge, framing the solid motifs within the lace grid.
