A pouch with a rounded bottom features botanical motifs rendered in miniscule glass beads. The main section displays green oak leaves, red buds, and yellow acorns against a shimmering silver-gray ground. A wide, dark red band at the base showcases light green foliage and small blue and pink flowers. A matching red border trims the top opening with blue accents. The dense beadwork creates a richly textured surface across the entire cotton textile.
