This is an electroformed silver evening purse lined in vermeil. It has been cast to look like chrysanthemum petals on the outside and indented from the petals on the inside. There is also silver mesh attached to the sides of the purse to limit the amount the bag can open and thus precluding it spilling its contents. The silver chain is removable, allowing the purse to be held as a clutch.
