BAG, Leather

A tan leather handbag in the shape of a half oval, with a painted floral pattern around its front and back. The colours on this floral border are orange and green, and there is a log-shaped wooden peg which goes through the front of the handbag to form a clasp. The front and back of the bag has been hand-stitched, and there are two metal buckles holding the shoulder strap of the bag together.
