Perfume case
Not on view
Whether or not the resemblance to a fish's iridescent scales and fine fins is intentional or fortuitous, this is a delightful example of a tiny perfume case, small enough to fit comfortably inside the palm of a hand. The three-dimensional patterning is achieved with buttonhole couching, worked in silver thread with purple, blue, pink and green silks.
