Cactus fiber (Maguey plant); average: 62.2 x 114.3 cm (24 1/2 x 45 in.).Irrit to incentive on a double piece of cotton and with trace wires for making a part of a collar of needle side, Belgian interned (Village Elisabeth, Amersfoort), c. 1915 - c. 1924 Property for a part of a collar of Venetian needle side. The needle side pattern is drawn with ink on blue paper and holes were then stung along the pattern lines. A trace wire is sewn through this 'incentive' and the double layer of cotton. If the needle side stitches are made over and between the trace wires, the incentive and the cotton surface can be cut and removed. Then you only have a needle side, in this case a part of the collar that can then be processed with the other parts and the edge into a collar. The design of the collar was made by a person from Belgium who was interned in the 'Elisabeth-Dorp' camp in Amersfoort in the First World War. Mrs. Van Nierop started making the collar and has donated the unfinished parts to the Rijksmuseum as a study material.
