Wood Purse

Anyone know anything about wood purses?
I know this one is old, but no clue where it was made.

This one is very interesting.
See all those colored pieces?

The brown with the yellow painted on it?
Those are different kinds of wood.
The bright colors are all painted.

And look at this kind of wirey gold loopy stuff.

And here is the latch. (sideways)

OK, someone out there give me the lowdown on this.

blessings and thanks
