Description

Purse: Black velvet purse with beaded designs, 10" tall, 7 3/8" wide at the top and tapers out to 9 3/4" wide at the bottom. At the bottom of the front and back of the purse is a white band of beads with two dark red flowers, two blue flowers, and a bright red flower. On the front side above the band are two flowers with pink and green petals, a light blue center, and dark and light blue leaves. These two flowers are on top of red velvet. There is a 1 3/4" black velvet fringe at the bottom of the purse. The top of the purse is a flap that folds over and covers the top part of the front side. The interior is lined with maroon satin with a diamond and zig zag pattern. The lining is shredding and is detached from the velvet cover flap. The cover flap edges are fraying. Some beads are missing.
