a lovely Ersari Turkoman purse/tea bag from the late 19th. Century. Often these purses were used to carry money or tea (which is near as valuable as money in Central Asian tribal life. Measuring 5 3/4" wide x 1/4" tall the purse is in very good condition with crisp vibrant colors and a fine needle work. The back side shown in my last photo shows some wear and may have been carried under a belt.
