Description
Leaf-shaped beaded bag with wrist strap and looped beaded fringe. The wrist strap is decorated with variegated purple glass beads, outlined in dark grey lined with cream silk. The body of the bag is formed as a stylized leaf silhouette, with identical beadwork on the front and back. The leaf design consists of outlined sections: purple areas at the tip and base of the leaf contrast with paler grey sections at the center, all bordered in dark grey beads. Each section contains a central cluster of clear white beads.
Looped fringe extends from the tip of the leaf, with a central purple section flanked by two paler grey sections. The interior of the body is fully lined in the same cream silk as the strap.
