Scarf of natural-colored lace embroidery: machine-made tulle with tambour work. Long rectangular model. Pattern: in the central field is a scattered pattern of twigs with three serrated leaves. Along the edges lie flower twigs with always one flower. The twigs are faintly S-shaped and lie partly over each other achieving a wavy effect. Along both short sides the last twigs from the edge come together with a large curling arch with extra flowers and form a symmetrical pattern crowned with one flower from which three twigs with each a flower bud spring. The relief in the flower hearts is made with tambour edging along strips of woven cotton attached to the tulle. The shell edge with lobed shells comes from the wavy twigs with serrated leaves.
