Cuff of natural-coloured bobbin lace: Cluny lace. Trapezium-shaped model. Symmetrical pattern with large rosette flowers at the bottom of the trapezium-shaped field, one at each corner and one in the middle at the bottom. In the field filled with a star-shaped plaited ground with picots stand two smaller rosette flowers, each between three leaves. In the centre of the field stands a rectangular motif, possibly a flowerpot, crowned by volutes and another rosette flower. Around the field a scalloped border of fan-shaped scallops and pointed oval leaves, both decorated with 'relief veins' made in form stitch. The scallops are bobbin lace in net stitch, the rosette flowers and other motifs in linen stitch.
