The image depicts a beaded pouch with a drawstring top. The pouch displays a large red rose with green leaves and a blue bird on the upper section. The lower part of the pouch features a colorful village scene with houses in black, yellow, and blue, along with a tree, a red field, and a blue stream. The pouch has a red and white striped top with a red ribbon. The color palette includes red, blue, green, yellow, black, and hints of pink and orange. The pouch hangs centrally with the top section gathered, allowing the ribbon to extend slightly outward on both sides.
