INCREDIBLE Antique ORNATE Colorful Beaded Purse w/Hinged Frame - Native American

Out of our element here. PLEASE ask questions if any! What we see is a gorgeous, COLORFUL, beaded antique purse. Navy, orange & yellow. VICTORIAN? Possibly Native American design. Dangling beads on bottom like a flapper; remainder bag beading on what appears to be silky/satiny material. Has weight to it! Unusual Frame. Mouth, when unclasped, opens in the shape of a square. Wide. When clasped shut, it’s “flat“. Unsure what the metal is, nickel Silver? Silver? Untested. Patina/tarnish; would need to polish if you want a shine. Scattered bead loss; pointing to 2 areas in particular, on either side, with a pen. Am sure there are other areas as well. INSIDE material looks to be in good condition. Couldn’t fit the photo, but I did pull the material out & I see NO holes or tears other than minor pinholes, if any. Minor imperfections, at best! Nothing will fall out once you put it inside. No foul odors or terrible stains. Clasp snaps shut firmly. Purse handle is a chain & looks like it matches well. No issues there. Nicely sized! Esti 10” from top to bottom, not including the chain Esti 6.5” across the top, once clasped shut/flat Esti 3.5” across each side, when hinged mouth is fully open & square Leaving red thread exactly where it is; maybe someone began mending an area of missing beads & I don’t want to chance clipping the thread! As is/as found. As with all of our listings, we cannot guarantee age, origin or materials. GORGEOUS FIND. In storage 15 years O205
