A horizontally long piece of off-white linen crafted with intricate bobbin lace floral patterns. A narrow, rectangular border of small square mesh runs along the top. Below, a repeating sequence of circular flowers, C-shaped scrolls, and mesh-filled teardrop shapes decorate the band. Thin threads interconnect these elements, leaving delicate open spaces throughout. The composition concludes with an undulating, scalloped bottom edge that provides a rhythmic, decorative finish across the length.
