This antique drawstring purse, often referred to as a reticule, is intricately hand-worked with glass micro-beads. The bag features a dense geometric pattern in a style reminiscent of Persian carpets. The central motif is a cruciform star surrounded by stylized floral and abstract elements. The color palette includes golden yellow, burnt orange, cerulean blue, and forest green beads, all set against a shimmering bronze-brown beaded ground. A decorative geometric border frames the central design. The purse is finished with a dual braided cord drawstring closure in an ochre tone. Along the bottom and lower side edges, the piece is embellished with multi-colored beaded fringe loops. No maker marks, labels, or tags are visible on the exterior of the item.
