A horizontally long strip of off-white linen needle lace features ornate floral patterns. At the center, a dense, flower-filled basket sprouts delicate vines and scrolling leaves. These shapes are filled with check-like patterned embroidery and surrounded by a shimmering, web-like background. Symmetrical scrolls wind outward toward either end, where the pattern is finished with a scalloped border. The far-left edge appears slightly frayed.
