Geisha in Rickshaw
Posted: August 26, 2009
Theme: Asian
Description
Asian-themed celluloid purses are quite popular and a majority of them feature a geisha in some way. This purse is no exception. Here the geisha is being transported in a rickshaw. The scene was a common one in Japanese picture postcards at the turn of the century. The purse is complimented by a wonderful beaded bag with butterflies. The butterfly pattern is often seen on young women’s kimonos and makes a nice addition here.
Size: 6 inches wide, 4 inches tall (frame); 9 inches wide, 7.5 inches tall (whole purse).
Value: 6 out of 10, with 10 being the most expensive.
