A square cream cotton lace textile features a translucent net base with a wide border of repeating spirals and fanned shapes. The central field is decorated with a grid of small, circular flower motifs. In each corner, a larger design depicts a rounded, ribbed form with curved stems. The pattern is created by raised white embroidery, providing texture against the delicate open mesh of the textile.
