SWEETMEAT PURSE

Simone Handbag Museum
Seoul , South Korea

The decoration of this purse is woven, which means it was created as the fabric was made, rather than being applied subsequently, as with embroidery. Its rectangular shape, drawstring for closure and three tassels (now missing) are typical of this type of purse. Such items were often presented as gifts and are frequently listed in personal accounts.
