Description
A rounded black silk fabric that is formed into an oblong shape that has been stitched into a purse. The body of the purse is decorated with a rich brocade pattern of circling multi colored dragons and bats, with a double happiness character in the center.
The mouth has a gray silk border with threaded reddish silk cords. Multi colored tassels from the neck embellish the purse. Two small phalanges of gray cloth near the drawstrings allow the user to loosen the opening to gain access. The stitching is well done and inconspicuous around the purse edges. You can see tiny stitching on the gray silk neck.
There are no marks or labels.

A silk purse from an earlier time when there was more handwork and expertise. The purse was taken out of a Victorian shadow box where it had been protected for many years.
