There's a small castle surrounded by trees in the center, and a garland of roses around the scene. The bottom portion has gold, yellow and white vertical stripes. The smaller bag measures 7 5/8" long by 7 1/4" wide. Fringe adds 1 1/2". It has tissue inside and the identical scene, except the vertical stripes are orange and white. Both purses have a cardboard inventory tag attached, and are attributed to Ada Grunfeld.
