Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
The black-and-gray ginkgo leaf motif flows across this woven tapestry eyeglass case. Ginkgo trees can live for centuries, and in East Asian art traditions they often symbolize longevity and wisdom. A soft velvet lining cushions readers or sunglasses, protecting them from scratches while taking an everyday object and giving it a symbolic twist. Please note that pattern placement will vary.
