Elongated purse of crocheted black silk, with one rectangular and one round end. Halfway along the purse is an opening that can be closed with two silver-colored rings. The round section features two sets of three rows of steel beads and a tassel with four loops of steel beads and spiral-shaped balls. The rectangular section contains a symmetrical and geometric pattern of crocheted steel beads on a beige and red background, with intertwined loops of strung steel beads near the end.
