This carpetbag is made of leather on the ends, bottom, and top, with brown fabric sides. One side of the bag features a large embroidered monogram "JWE," while the other side displays embroidered raspberries, blossoms, and vines. The handle of the bag is relatively small, not a large strap. The closures on the bag appear to be functional, and on top of the closure, the word "PATENT" is inscribed.
The color palette of the bag includes shades of dark brown, chestnut brown, golds, pinks, and greens.Context
