Description
This purse combines Western and Eastern themes to create a unique holiday purse. Holly with it’s red berries covers most of the purse while at the center is a crane. In Asian cultures cranes are symbolic of long life and are usually paired in art with other symbols of longevity: pine trees, bamboo and tortoises. The combination of cranes ( a symbol of good wishes and long life) with holly (the traditional Western decoration for the closing of the year) creates a celluloid frame that wishes everyone “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
