A beaded silk bag features a cream satin top with pink ribbon drawstrings above three distinct horizontal bands. A teal wave undulates across the uppermost dark blue section. Below, colorful floral vines sprawl across a cream ground marked by a small tear. At the bottom, a pink pedestal stands between two flanking green trees against a dark blue background. The pouch tapers from the middle toward a rounded, decorative base.
