    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The miser purse gained popularity during the 19th century and was widely used until the 1920s. One end of the crocheted purse has twisted steel bead tassels and the other has looped fringe, allowing users to differentiate which end they needed to access. The center of the purse has two rings; separating the rings gave access to the small slit that served as the purse‚Äôs opening. The small slit and difficult access gave the purse its ‚Äúmiser‚Äù moniker, as it discouraged reckless spending.]]></dcterms:description>
