A horizontally long piece of off-white linen needle lace tapers significantly toward the left, ending in a wider, squared-off edge. A continuous, undulating wavy pattern forms a series of rounded enclosures, each containing a small, delicate floral motif. Fine, tiny loops trim the top and bottom edges. These repeating organic shapes and intricate needlework create a rhythmic flow across the narrow, translucent band of textile.
