Purse of green velvet with drawstring and trimmed with gold thread on a box in the form of scissors (phallus?) made of ditto velvet and trimmings, with two metal eyes. At first glance, the object looks like a sheath for a pair of scissors with a small pouch on the front, lined with leather and provided with a drawstring of braided gold thread. However, the case cannot open and the pouch is so small that hardly any coins fit in it., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), after 1580, bekleding, binnenwerk, passement, trekkoord, voering buideltje, ogen, forging, l 11 cm × w cm, Reimagined by Gibo
