About this work

Elongated pouch of ecru-colored silk, executed in Egyptian plaitwork (sprang). Just before the middle a raised seam and six narrow vertical bands which are fixed at the beginning and end point with rosettes of silver thread. The threads of the plaitwork are tied together at the bottom and form four smaller and one thicker tassel. The pouch is unlined. Through the upper edge two twisted cords of ecru-colored silk.
