About this work
Pouch in a spherical shape of crocheted green and salmon-colored silk and silver thread. The pattern at the bottom of the pouch consists of four salmon-colored hearts with points facing each other, above which are two bands of abstract green or salmon-colored motifs. Through evenly spaced openings along the top is threaded a braided cord of silk and silver thread, with which the pouch can be closed. Attached to the cord are three crocheted balls and a bell with a petal-shaped tassel, also crocheted. The pouch is unlined.
