- Description
- An infant's purse delicately crafted from soft, colourful fabrics. It features a twisted thread necklet, elegantly fashioned to hang gently around a tiny neck. Suspended from this necklet is a miniature purse, lovingly handmade by the mother for her little one. Inside the purse lies a small bundle of protective medicine, carefully acquired from the local traditional healer, intended to safeguard the baby with ancient wisdom and care.
