A horizontally long, creamy white linen lace cuff is woven with large, stylized flower petals and scrolling vines across a fine, open mesh background. The rectangular textile tapers toward the right, ending in a gentle scalloped curve, while the remaining three edges are straight. A faint horizontal fold line runs across the center, appearing as if the intricate floral patterns are mirrored across a central seam.
