A horizontally long off-white linen lace fragment is composed of a delicate net-like background with dense woven motifs. A scalloped top edge alternates between fan-like forms and wide arched structures. Below, scrolling shapes and stylized flowers form a mirrored repeated pattern across the strip. A straight, solid band defines the bottom edge. These intricate organic designs create a rhythmic horizontal composition within the fine textile.
