About this object

Cream silk satin evening bag with a rectangular metal frame ornamented with glass stones. The front and back edges of the purse are trimmed with self-piping, a functional curved tab to aid with opening hangs from the center front, and the interior features two pockets . Two narrow rows of translucent glass bagutte stones border the frame with a wider row of green glass stones set between. Either side of the frame extends into a rounded shape with tiny round clear  glass stones above and below a row of  transluscent square glass stones. This ornamentation is repeated at the clasp on the center of the frame which is topped off by a green glass dome-shaped stone. Handle consists of a doubled length of cream braided cord finished with two knots.
