This adorable early 20th century beaded purse features a central tree with two houses on either side, and a looped fringe. The front and back both have the same beaded pattern. The inside is a purple silk with some staining, but the fabric itself is still strong. The bag was cleaned and restored by Gentle Arts Textiles’ conservators. All missing beads were replaced, and loose beads were secured.
