Small miser’s purse made of fine netted silk. Worked with alternating white and greenish-gray bands with simple lacework near the center, and dainty printed rosebuds at each end. Short tassels at each end are made of fancy white silk threads and heavy fancy cords with stiff twisted elements that appear to incorporate (tarnished) silver. The top mold is wrapped with white silk overlaid with a net. The sliders are wrapped with bands of pink and green silk worked over with netting, like the tassels.Collection
