Richly decorated pocket and letter cases were often made of silk, and beautifully embroidered with silk or silk ribbon and metal threads; some had silver-gilt fringes, strings and tassels, others were signed and dated. The oval panel of this pocket book is painted in watercolours, with similar panels inside, and possibly refers to a Royal marriage.
