Bedfordshire collar

There is a nine pin headside and a cloth stitch trails. There are half stitch areas, some with raised tallies on top in a flower pattern (which only show on one side). There are also patches of Bucks point ground (made of half stitch and twists). There are cloth stitch buds. Joining things are plaits with picots. There is a twisted footside.

This piece is too big to fit in my scanner (which is how I am reproducing the lace) so I can only show part of it on the right. The entire piece is photographed below to show its shape.
