Mesh Plastic Handbag with Flower Appliqué (bolso / "jaba"), red
Object/Artifact
A handbag worked in coral/salmon-red synthetic/plastic cord as a regular open mesh, with a decorative shell/fan-patterned band across the upper yoke and a plain net body tapering to a rounded base. Two integral strap handles form a shoulder loop. A round cord-covered disc button at the top-center front serves as the closure (with a short loop). A yellow multi-petaled flower rosette with a white center is applied to the front.
