Flat bag with blossom pattern and initials K H D and date cut out of green and red felt, applied on to chamois. Yellow, green and white silk thread stitching/embroidery. Decoration at the front opening of bag has green and red wool yarn 'interwoven' in check pattern with leather strips. The bag is backed with leather and top inner back lined with red printed calico. The waist band woven in red on possibly cream cotton so as to give reverse rendering of a repeating pattern of angular form and spots on either side (woven on a 'bandgrind'). Three pompoms of silk yarn, silk, cotton fabrics and net embellish the bottom of the bag.
