  • Fabulously crafted and so elegant. I prefer the restraint of the single stone purses to those with more stones. This is such a lovely and distinguished example!

    I imagine that the creature is a phoenix.

  • Hi Frankie,

    Yes, the creature is a phoenix. The bottom part of the purse also has beautiful metalwork by the way. Indeed a very nice example of this type of female adornment in my collection if I may tickle myself, haha.    

  • With unseen decoration too! Howah, this deserves a tickling till you`re helpless with laughter!!
