An irregularly shaped piece of off-white linen bobbin lace featuring a dense pattern of scrolling vines and rounded flowers. Against a fine, net-like mesh background, textured woven shapes defined by tiny openings create stylized leaves and stems. The textile tapers toward a jagged, scalloped edge on the right. Flowing, curved lines fill the entire surface, creating an intricate, delicate composition across the cuff.
