Rectangular hand-woven drawstring bag. The body of the bag is a camel colored plain weave with white and black yarn supplementary wefts, lined with a medium weight beige cotton cloth. White and black stripes circle the bag's top and bottom. A large, black, bold geometric flower and diamond design wraps around the mid-section, with two white arrow stripes on its top and bottom. "MACHUPICCHU" is written on the front side of the bag (interrupting the arrow stripe). A twisted multicolored yarn goes in and out along the top edge, and functions as the drawstring. The bag is soft to the touch and has fringes on the bottom.Artwork Details
