A rounded silk pouch features dense beadwork in three horizontal bands. Rust-orange sections at the top and bottom showcase small floral clusters and sawtooth borders. The wider central band displays large blue, pink, and orange blossoms with green leaves against a pale gray field. Miniscule glass beads form intricate floral motifs throughout. A brown fabric lining borders the top edge, while a yellow beaded row finishes the bottom.
