A glass bead and textile pouch features a pastoral scene where two yellow, red-roofed houses flank a large green tree. Below, two white ducks rest on a grassy field. A blue band separates the landscape from a decorative panel featuring a central red rose and blue blossoms. Long, clear glass bead loops create a dense, shimmering fringe at the rounded base, with the entire design set against a pale, beaded background.
