A linen needle lace fragment features a horizontal band of off-white textile. Rows of small square openwork form a mesh across the upper portion, while a central band below features repeating motifs of stylized figures. The textile dissolves into a dense fringe of thin threads along the bottom edge. The fragment is unevenly worn, with rough, frayed edges cutting into the far left and right.
