Birch Bark Purse

Handmade container that is dark brown on the outside with tan and blue reed and white and blue bead embellishments. The bottom inside of the container is pale natural-looking birch bark as well as the inside top of the lid. The lid is dark brown birch bark with blue and natural-colored reed embellishments. Blue and white beads in groups of three form a circle around the outside top. The lid has a handle made of double layered birch and reed decorations. Lines have been carved into the top of the lid. This was made by Mrs. Peter Partridge from The Pas Reserve.
