Fichu of natural-colored machine lace: machine tambour work on machine tulle. Triangular model with pointed side corners and a rounded bottom point. The long side between the two pointed corners has a fine scalloped edge along which runs a small pattern alternating a small trefoil and four dots. From here the central field is filled with a scattered pattern of two leaves, between which on a short stem stands a dot as a flower. Along the two slanted sides runs a slightly coarser scalloped edge, along which a double row of flowers runs, the outer row finer than the inner edge, which consists of slightly bent violet branches alternated by rosettes made with seven dots. In the rounded point stands a symmetrical double flower branch.
