A horizontally elongated bobbin lace features ten repeating scallops in muted golden and gray metallic threads. A dense, straight band borders the top, while an open net-like pattern connects to fan-shaped sections below. Radiating lines at the center of each scallop are framed by thick, wavy loops. The left and right ends show slight fraying, highlighting the delicate, aged texture of the metallic weave against the black background.
