DescriptionA beadwork-covered textile bag; the beadwork covers a red-colored textile with a gold-colored edging. The multi-colored geometric and floral design covers the bag overall. There is a beaded fringe along the bottom of the bag. The piece is stitched to a black textile backing which is stapled to a wood stretcher. The stitching extends throughout the body of the piece, not just around the edges. The fabric backing is sealed to the strecher with black electrical tape.
