Drawstring bag, lined and shaped like a straight-sided, collapsible Chinese lantern, handmade of rusty-brown silk satin and hand painted with individual pale-coloured violet motifs. Bag made in five joined sections: the first forming the drawstring casing; the third and fifth sections are straight-sided and have the hand painted motifs. The top and bottom edges of these two sections are wired [millinery wire?] to create shape. The second and fourth sections are fuller and lightly gathered to each of the adjoining sections. Circular bottom cut full and in two sections. Outer section has been formed into large pleats and joined to centre section which has been gathered with two equally-spaced rows, to form ruching. Centre bottom finished with two-layered, graduated, looped tassel made of narrow almost-matching brown velvet ribbon, each loop having a black [wood ?] bead at the bottom, and with five black beads ringing the centre. Similar ribbon forms the drawstring. Lined with a dark-printed floral cotton sateen with dark blue, dark pink, dark turquoise predominating.Acquisition
