A horizontally long, off-white linen lace fragment is densely woven with a pattern of curving stems and small floral circles. Interlocking loops and a web-like mesh fill the openwork surface, creating a highly textured botanical design. A decorative border of small, rounded scallops lines the bottom edge, while the top and sides remain uneven. These delicate, repetitive motifs cover the entire surface of the rectangular piece.
