Description |
Beaded coin purse. Extended Visual Description Beaded coin purse. Coin purse has a metal hinge clasp with metal blobs (vaguely duck shaped) that interclasp to keep the purse closed. The interior has 5 plastic slats with inwardly curved sides (to slip coins into), and a plastic snake-skin texture lining. The beading is against a field of green beads and has a dark blue outer beaded border with a single row of brick red beads just inside that border. Each side has a different design. One side has a diamond in the middle which has a blue center, a red edging, and is rimmed by dark blue beads. To each side of the diamond is a design of three triangles - a red triangle near the short edges of the coin purse, and two white triangles coming off the tip of the red one like wings to roughly echo the diamond shape. The design on the other side has a sort of wide hourglass in the middle made of 4 red triangles and two blue diamonds. From the center of the hourglass is a white shape coming out to either side - it's like a rectangle, but with a triangular point at one end and a triangular void at the other. There is some beading loss on both sides. |
