Object/Artifact

A handbag worked in green 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. On the reverse, a multi-petaled cream/white flower rosette is applied as ornament.
