Rich needlepoint handbag from the 1950s-early 60s by Jana.

Romantic theme, needlepoint bag in mixed petite point and needle point. Young lovers from olden times embrace in a secluded pastoral setting. Scrolls and flowers frame the scene. Often these needle point bags are plain in back but this one continues on the other side with a bountiful bouquet of colorful flowers, buds and leaves. The faces of the couple are finely detailed in tiny petite point stitches, a very nice touch!
