A horizontally long off-white linen textile features needle lace patterns in three distinct horizontal bands. The top and bottom sections display pairs of small birds facing each other, separated by stylized floral motifs. A wider middle band contains larger birds with wings spread wide, all oriented rightward and interspersed with elaborate plant forms. These intricate motifs are set against a consistent grid of small, openwork squares, creating a delicate, gauze-like texture throughout.
