Gorgeous traditional Norwegian folk belt bag made from a richly decorated metal frame and soft blue rounded pouch with a sweet peony embroidered design. The flourishing stamped pattern covers the hook plate that clips onto your belt or waistband, has a springy sliding lock, and hinged opening revealing a roomy interior. The frame is stamped "Jons Kristiansen, KJOSE, NM", it's from the Graffel region of Norway. While these are still made in the traditional fashion, this metal frame looks circa 1960s or earlier (to us) based on the stamp and patina.
