A beaded case features a long, slender body that splits into two flat, trapezoidal tabs. Dark brown leather caps the top and the base of each tab. The central tube is wrapped in dense white beads, punctuated by colorful horizontal bands and diagonal stripes in blue, green, and pink. A thin leather strap drapes from the top. The tabs display a blue and green grid pattern against a white beaded field.
