Evening bag, French, 1930–39
Silk and metal brocade, metal, and semi-precious stones
The pattern of this woven textile in silk and metal threads conjures up a mythical world – a figure wearing a fez rides a fantastical beast with wings, surrounded by animals in heraldic poses. Inside the bag contains a purse attached by a chain, as well as a double-sided mirror.
