A beaded bag features a central pink rose with green foliage against a white ground. Flanking the rose, pointed blue flowers unfurl. Blue zigzag borders frame the floral scene above and below. At the base, a red field is overlaid with a blue diamond lattice accented by white beads. A frayed blue trim lines the top opening, while gold beads edge the bottom. A small hole appears in the white ground.
