A horizontal crescent-shaped collar of off-white linen bobbin lace features repeating patterns of winged child figures nestled among floral and leaf motifs. Dense threadwork forms the intricate designs against a fine, net-like background. On the right, one figure holds a curved bow and arrow. A narrow band defines the inner edge, while the outer edge consists of a series of rounded, scalloped points.
