Beaded Purse c. 1937

"Beaded Purse" is a small, intricately beaded purse created by American artist Ann Gene Buckley circa 1937. The purse, measuring just 3.5 inches in diameter, is a testament to Buckley's meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring popularity of beadwork as a form of decorative art. The design features a charming landscape of three houses nestled amongst trees, showcasing the artist's skill in utilizing colorful beads to create a detailed and whimsical scene. The purse's colorful design and diminutive size make it a charming example of early 20th-century American beadwork.
