Description | Small, crudely sewed up small striped cloth with herbs or some other substance tied into one corner. A small plain weave white "pouch" with blue stripes. The pouch was made by folding the textile in half and sewing the three(?) sides shut. It is not certain if the pouch originally had an opening. Three seams were originally present. Some seams are present that do not appear to be functional (they are not sewing two edges shut). A small area (a corner?) is tied shut, forming a little bundle; some material is enclosed in this little bundle. Color(s): White, blue. |
