This is a drawing of a decorative bib or collar. It shows a semi-circular piece of fabric with a symmetrical design. The fabric has a scalloped edge, giving it a lacy appearance. Light blue and yellow motifs, resembling flowers and branches, are illustrated on the fabric. Handwritten notes around the design provide details such as "Bead work on cloth" and measurements, stating it is "16" long". The drawing is neat and detailed, presented on a page with perforated edges, typical of a sketchbook.
