Description

Small leather wallet with interior pockets. A single piece of leather has been folded and sewn closed on one side and bottom so as to form a container. Inside the wallet are two pockets formed by leather patches being sewn onto the inside of the wallet. One pocket closes with a button and button hole. The top of the wallet is ringed by approximately 21 oblong openings so as to form alternate strips of leather between each opening. The strips have retained a position that suggests a cord had been inserted through the strips and used as a draw string to close the wallet.
