A horizontally long strip of off-white linen bobbin lace features a straight top border with a repetitive grid pattern. Below, repeating floral motifs of circular flowers and rounded petals form an ornate band. Curved foliate lines and teardrop shapes wind between the blossoms, creating a scalloped bottom edge with small, pointed details. The piece showcases an intricate texture, alternating between dense weaving and open, thread-like connections throughout the design.
