A horizontally long piece of cream linen bobbin lace features a repeating pattern of large, downward-pointing triangular sections. Within each, dense curving vines and leaf motifs are intricately connected by a fine web-like net. A narrow, straight band finishes the top edge, while a row of small, repetitive rounded points lines the bottom. The delicate textile displays mirrored organic shapes set against a rhythmic sequence of geometric divisions.
