A long, narrow horizontal strip of bobbin lace features intricately woven cream threads in a repeating pattern. The top edge is a straight band of small vertical loops. Below, dense zig-zagging bands create repeating, downward-pointing shapes filled with circular openwork details. Frayed, loose threads appear at the far left and right ends of the muted cream textile.
