A horizontally long cream linen strip features intricate bobbin lace with a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and curling leaves. Dense, opaque woven motifs are set within a delicate, shimmering web-like mesh. The top edge is straight, while the bottom edge forms a rhythmic scalloped border. This uniform floral design continues across the entire band, creating a delicate decorative edging.
