Embroidered beaded bag with a hunter and a deer motif. From the 1880s. Origin: Germany. Green silk tassel. Interior lined with light colored leather. Bags of this type were used as tobacco purses. They were lovingly made by a wife for her husband. A welcome occupation from a time when there were few diversions for women. Very good to excellent condition.
Length: ~ 25 cm (incl. tassel)
