A horizontally twisting line with bows and circles runs through the pattern at approximately three-quarters of the upper edge. The upper side is edged with a bobbin lace border. The lower edge is formed by a horizontal spiral with a picoted arch border beneath it. The space between the spiral and the arches is filled with a decorative ground.
