A rectangular beaded bag with a rounded bottom features a gathered tan silk top and drawstring. The central silver-gray panel displays pink roses among green leaves and trailing blue blossoms, framed by dark red zigzag borders. Below, a dark red field is patterned with yellow and blue butterfly-like forms among green foliage. A fringe of bright blue beaded loops hangs from the lower edge.
