The division inside and the sides outside are made of green suede stamped with a repeating geometrical pattern in white. The purse has a silver fastening in the form of two butterflies. At the top are series of silver chains for suspension which end in a heavy round ivory button containing a silver plaque decorated with chrysanthemums.

Embroidered decoration consists of background of clouds worked in couched circles of cord in blue and buff, against which various creatures appear. On the front flap are a dragonfly, a butterfly and a small fly; on the main part of the front a praying mantis and a moth; on the back a frog and a horned beetle.
