Hi Devon:
I’ve taken a look at this weird little thing in extreme closeup. If it’s a
decoration it is odd that it is completely plain. I am struck by the fact that
it is in line with the pricking, and it covers the space between the top of
the pricking and the drawer opening, and I wonder if it could be just a piece
of cloth (it’s not black, more of a dark green, maybe a piece of velvet?)
meant to cover the completed lace from the time it leaves the pricking until
it reaches the safety of the little drawer.
