Lindley Wren: Purse cover from Sutton Hoo/Modern Day Clutch

This is a purse cover that can be purchased at high-end department stores like Neiman Marcus. LIke the purse cover from Sutton Hoo, any individual sporting such a purse cover as an accessory can likely be closely linked to wealth and/ or authority.  This particular clutch is very detailed and ornamented like that from Sutton Hoo. Both suggest that the artist put a lot of effort into producing the items. Although this modern day clutch does not have depictions of wild animals (Janson's), this clutch does offer its own depiction of nature through the floral design.
