A horizontally long ivory bobbin lace textile features a repeating floral pattern of swirling vines, circular flowers, and curved leaves. These dense ivory motifs are set against a background of open, fine web-like mesh across three distinct rectangular sections. The lace has straight top and bottom edges, while the vertical side edges appear cut and irregular.
