A horizontally long strip of off-white linen needle lace is composed of a fine, mesh-like network of threads. The upper section features repeating rows of small floral and star-like motifs. Below, a thick, scalloped border showcases winding patterns and delicate circular openings. A small, rectangular white tag is attached to the far right upper edge, breaking the rhythmic continuity of the delicate pattern.
