"Two halves of a large walnut shell are covered in green silk and worked in detached buttonhole stitch over silver thread and braid stitch. On each side, sprigs of carnation and possibly lily are worked with red, pink, yellow, green and cream silk and silver thread in fancy detached buttonhole stitch. The stems are in braid stitch.\n\nIt is lined with green silk, which forms the inner purse. It has a loop handle and draw string of plaited green and pink silk. The handle is attached to the embroidered cover at the centre of each half and the draw string runs through the top edge of the lining and out through holes bored in the centre of each nut half."@en . . . .
