Purse is ornamented with four standing (most probably dancing) figures arranged in pairs. Figures are executed in coloured silks (red, beige, blue, brown) and metal threads on a green ground of lozanga pattern. On the bottom of the purse is a rosette-shaped decoration with a tassel in the centre. The same type of tassel (made of red silk and metal threads) is preserved at the end of the green tying string, but lacking the original red silk cuffs.
