An off-white linen needle lace fragment features a vertical rectangular composition. Horizontal bands of square lattice frames border the top and bottom, each enclosing a dense triangular leaf form. The large central open space highlights a symmetrical diamond with a woven interior, connected by thin threads with small loops to a thick geometric frame. This structured piece is finished with a strip of frayed woven fabric at the top edge.
