This fragile, Victorian tidbit is a leather and paper purse sandwiched between two panels of ivory, which form the outside of the tiny purse. The purse measures 3" x 2 1/8". The front ivory panel is decorated with a intaglio carved floral panel. Likely this is French and dates from c. 1870. Condition is good, but fragile.
