A horizontally long cream linen needle lace scarf features scalloped edges and a fine mesh ground. A thick, undulating band weaves across the length, partitioning it into five oval compartments. At the center of each, a floral spray with branching stems and delicate blooms rises. Between this band and the outer borders, smaller flowers and leaf clusters populate the remaining space. The monochrome lace exhibits a symmetrical, repeating botanical pattern throughout the piece.
