Description
This is a bead decoration made of purple, green, white, blue and pink beads which have been fixed to a piece of backing material to form a heavy motif which could then be stitched to clothing or a bag or belt. The decoration was owned by Mrs Linda Seymour, a relative of the donor, who lived in Wokingham, Berkshire, but was originally from Bradfield, Berkshire. It was probably purchased; a ticket on back reading '1/11' could indicate the price.
