This silk purse probably originates from Italy, the centre of the European silk industry during the sixteenth century. It was knitted together in a knit stitch known as stockinette, and its edges were finished with a purl stitch,which as it developed around 1550 helps to date the purse.The purse is lined in silk with an interlining of linen.
