A horizontally long off-white linen needle lace band features dense scrolling floral patterns worked against a fine, open mesh ground. Mirrored repeating motifs of stylized blossoms and swirling stems emerge from the center and flow across the length. The central section branches outward in symmetrical curves, leading to a scalloped lower border that tapers into a wide point. Small gaps and frayed edges define the ends of the delicate, cream-colored textile.
