  • Description: Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Envelope-shaped purse made of polychrome vitreous paste beads strung on silk thread, to the contour of which a raw silk chevron with metal plates has been applied. The lining is made of salmon-coloured silk taffeta and closes with a ribbon of the same material. Its rigid texture is achieved by means of a cellulose interlining. The decoration on the front depicts a swan lying on its young, surrounded by floral motifs. The reverse shows a blue bird with its wings outstretched. \This envelope-shaped accessory is very common towards the middle of the 18th century. Many of the decorative motifs chosen for these objects were inspired by love and fidelity. Perhaps the presence of the bird in the nest with its chicks is an allusion to filial maternal love.- Cartera en forma de sobre realizada a base de cuentas de pasta vítrea polícromas ensartadas en hilo de seda, a cuyo contorno se ha aplicado un galón de seda cruda con láminas metálicas. El forro es de tafetán de seda en color salmón y cierra mediante un lazo del mismo material. Su textura rígida se consigue por medio de una entretela de celulosa. La decoración representa en el anverso a un cisne acostado sobre sus crías, rodeado de motivos florales. En el reverso aparece un ave azul con sus alas extendidas. Este complemento con forma de sobre es muy común hacia la mitad del siglo XVIII. Muchos de los motivos decorativos escogidos para estos objetos estaban inspirados en el amor y la fidelidad. Quizás la presencia del pájaro en el nido con sus polluelos haga alusión al amor materno filial.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
