A silk and gold thread purse shaped like a rounded pouch is embroidered with a pink rose bush in a blue pot. Flanking the plant on the ribbed metallic gold surface is vertical black lettering reading "PLOWS" and "TALSOM." A yellow lining shows at the cinched opening. Green drawstring cords emerge from either side, weighted by metal beads and tassels, all set against a neutral gray background.
