- Description
-
Green and brown stripe silk with a floral motif woven into the fabric. The brown stripe has thirteen stripes woven into the fabric in gold thread along with red dots embroidered in the center of the flowers and yellow threads embroidered in the centers of the green flowers. This bag is in very poor condition. There is a yellow silk rope drawstring. The interior of the bag is lined with a purple silk. The silk is heavily shredded and torn throughout. There is an especially long tear along one of the side seams. There are many areas where the white cotton batting is exposed and many of the threads in the floral centers are snagged and pulled.
