It has an unusual needlelace characteristic: There is needle-woven cloth within the lace. A filling that resembles cloth does not appear in other needlelaces. This cloth, plus the three crossed fish that are the trademark of the lace having been made in Kiskunhalas, are what makes this lace easy to identify. The three crossed fish are incorporated into the lace. They do not "jump out at you" and interfere with the design. If I remember correctly, there is a picture of a piece of Halas lace on the Lacefairy web page. Probably a butterfly.
