Finely Hand Crocheted Drawstring Pouch 19th century medicine The larger measures 5 3/8"

The larger measures 5 3/8" in diameter and 1 3/8" tall

and what is with this giant hand she is holding out toward him

with just very minor irregularity to the form

with the seven gesturing hands to my eye together making for quite a satisfying composition

Finely Hand Crocheted Drawstring Pouch 19th century medicine The larger measures 5 3/8"I know from the seller that this very finely crocheted bag came out of an old estate in Pennsylvania, and though it is in near perfect condition, I am pretty certain it is 100 years old or so, and definitely it was all hand done. I think the colors and patterning as well as the shape of it, with pointy tip at the bottom are just terrific, plus that pink border with tiny knots along the top. With a nice long drawstring, I believe original to it, too.
