The handkerchief is square-shaped. The center is a plain, light-colored linen fabric with a slightly wrinkled texture. The edges of the fabric are surrounded by intricate, white bobbin lace in the Point d'Angleterre style, featuring a floral and scrollwork pattern. The lace is dense and ornate, with a scalloped edge. The handkerchief has a symmetrical design, with the lace border being identical on all four sides. The background of the image is black.
