Green Tiled Crest Brocade Wallet

An antique (C. 1950) Japanese brocade wallet with a tile & circular gold floral crests on a green background. Large enough to hold tissues, a face mask or other small items.

A slim wallet covered with brocade silk (kinran) with a woven mon or crest design that features circular flower motifs in purple, red, blue & green. The brocade pattern is arranged slightly differently on each wallet. This bag has a plain purple interior with a separate interior pocket and is fastened with a simple flat plastic toggle. This is an unused, deadstock item originally made to hold prayer beads.
