The flowers are colored in yellow and purple and have red outlines and pistils, which are also decorated with a white pearl. The stems and leaves are also decorated with small white pearls..

Beaded bags first gained popularity in the 18th century, when they were knitted by hand. By the 19th century machines were invented to knit the beads into the ground and could therefore be disseminated much more widely. The design and imagery here is evocative of late Victorian Berlin work patterns.Margaret S.
