The bundling is carried out in diagonal lines, the added thread forms a diagonal grid in this way. The bundled wires form four-pointed stars. Diagonally below the pattern you can see how warp threads (vertical) and weft threads (horizontal) are partly cut away and pulled out of the linen fabric. The linen is finished with hems along which a border of work with drawn-out threads has been made. The steel is intended as an example of how this technique works. The sample comes with a fragment made with fine linen that has been finished., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1925 - c. 1929, linen (material), h 17 cm × w 14 cm
