What am I looking at: Woman’s pouch

Off-white, hand embroidered pouch decorated with blue and pink floral design and matching embroidered lace around top opening. Dimensions: 14 x 11 cm. A string would hold the top closed and would have it hanging from the waist, or in the pocket. The more decoration the pouch had on it, the more money it had in it!
