Youghal collar
16" neckline, ~69" outer edge, 9.5"-11 " varying depth.
Good design showing right/left symmetry with some variation in the clothwork and fillings. Some of the large filling areas detract a bit from the pattern and seem a bit clumsey. The scattered flowers are simple in outline, and not too cohesive. Excellent technique, and it's a very good piece, but maybe a bit large to be truly effective.
