This is a celluloid bag top/frame. It would have had a material bottom. There are holes for sewing. It has two Oriental fishes and a face inside a flower. It would have been from the Art Deco period. Ladies would purchase the frame and make a bag to match their outfit! It would most likely have been made in Japan. These frames are now very collectible - especially when the frame hinges and catch work, as this one does! www.gillianhorsup.com - reference 2681 B81/12 price £140. #CelluloidBagFrameArtDeco #CelluloidBagFrameOrientalFishDesign #CelluloidBagFrameFishes
