There is remarkable bead work on front and back and the top. It is lined with old fashion calico, blue with tiny stars. All the edges around the strap and purse are edge beaded. Leather dangels adorn the front and back. Shell conchos attach the strap to both sides of the bag.There are 6″ bands of beading across the front and back with seed beads beaded into traditional Native American geometrical designs.
