Design on outside is done in false embroidery with yellow, green, red, blue, and off-white yarn. Design is purely geometric consisting of two large diamonds edged with small green triangles on one side of bag and on other side, smaller diamond and rectangular shapes of light blue and yellow. Off-white border decorates top and bottom of bag. Bag is in poor condition. The top edge is frayed, much of the embroidery is worn, and it is dirty. |
