Description

Bag made of plant/vegetable fiber twisted and twined into rope. The bag has central portion made of strips of braided rope, and a small strand of rope attached as a handle. Attached to the central braids are two woven sections which function as bags or containers. These sections have been woven and braided together with a thinner fiber rope. Each side also has a drawstring-like closure of a length of rope, finished with tassels at the ends, drawn through a row of loops. Similar to a saddle bag.
