Description
Evening bag in black satin of oval shape, beaded throughout with stylized acorn and oak leaf motifs. The twisted shoulder strap is formed from a beaded cord in an asymmetrical black-and-white stripe pattern, adding visual contrast to the design.
Both the front panel and flap are feature an intricate beaded design: a black beaded border frames curved ornametal lines which enclose a bubble frame around the central white oak leaves and orange acorns. On the body of the bag the oak leaves are arranged a symmetrical pattern with acorns throughout whereas on the flap only two leaves are shown. The reverse echoes this decorative scheme, though the central motif differs, featuring three oak leaves in varied orientations.
The interior is lined in beige satin, with the black stitching of the beadwork visible beneath the front flap. The bag fastens with a metal snap closure.
