Floral ornaments, vine patterns and different animals as well as mystical creatures can be seen. Both items are decorated with a turquoise in the center. The front of the pouch has also a small coral. At the bottom a pendant can be attached and inside the pouch a small item can be stowed.



The pouch is in good condition with usual signs of age and wear. Leather and fabric are rubbed, traces of corrosion on iron are visible. The total length of the bag and the handle is 39 cm and the width measures 13 cm.
