A circular piece of off-white bobbin lace textile features radial patterns of intricate, web-like threadwork. At the center, a four-lobed floral motif sits within a circular lattice. Moving outward, concentric bands of repeating small floral and scrolled shapes lead to a wide border of large, interlocking curved loops. These delicate designs create many small open spaces throughout the work, concluding in a scalloped edge that defines the piece's round silhouette.
