A rectangular piece of off-white linen cloth featuring four vertical openwork bands of geometric zigzag patterns. These bands divide the upper section into panels of solid, plain fabric. Below, a wide horizontal border consists of intricate needlepoint lace depicting scrolling vine and leaf motifs. A row of knotted white fringe hangs from the bottom edge, while the top and side margins appear frayed and irregular.
