    A rare Victorian Iroquois wall pocket handmade from cardboard covered with red wool and edged with a ruffled red fabric. The outside of the pocket and inside upper surface have nearly matching floral designs made from beads. The beading is typical with raised multiple bead layers. Brown felt has been stitched on to form leaves. The flowers are raised white and clear beads with red bead centers. Small metallic beads are used to form tendrils. There is a red loop at the top for the piece to hang. The back has an oil cloth like fabric.
