A short informal note by Brian Lemin examining the decoration on a handful of pale-wood lace bobbins from East Devon. He compares bird motifs (including a "turkey" bird), the "wide hatching" technique used for depth, and a "tree of life" motif seen on a hand-whittled Downton bobbin, to ask whether one decorator made them. He draws no conclusions and invites help; photographs of the bobbins illustrate the points.
