- Description
-
Brown silk background with a light blue and white floral motif. This bag is in very poor condition. The silk is heavily abraded. Much of the brown silk is missing and the light blue silk backing is showing through. The silk exterior is heavily shredded and torn causing much of the white interior batting to be exposed. The exterior of the bag is also actively shattering and small fibers are being shed because of this. Half of the seam is detached from the bottom circular panel. The interior bright green lining is exposed because of this. The interior lining appears to be in very stable condition. There is a gold silk rope drawstring.
