Cravat of natural-colored machine lace (machine-made tulle) with rhomboid ends of natural-colored mixed lace: ribbon lace. The pattern of the ends consists in the center of a round flower with eight petals (bobbin lace) with in the openwork flower heart a star of four festooned threads (needle lace). Around the flower stand numerous pointed oval leaves (bobbin lace) which are connected to each other by a bar ground (needle lace). The motifs are made with a ribbon of bobbin lace, in linen stitch with contour threads. The scalloped edge around the rhombus is finished with picots. The long sides of the cravat (machine-made tulle) are finished with a hem.
