Beaded Figural Purse 1840

Description

Tiny beads and some knitted work. Different scenes on each side. The people appear to be well-to-do. There is a nanny holding a child and the house behind them looks like a mansion (large, broad steps & statuary on each side). The other side is on a river - there is a sailboat with flags, large various buildings, a bridge. View over the Eibe to Catholic Hofkirche & the Augustus-bridge.
