Description

Coarse brown and white

A plain weave pouch with an opening. The pouch was made by folding the textile in half. The weft edges were sewn shut. All of the selvages are present. The body of the pouch is divided into two strips: a white strip and a brown strip. A band with dark brown yarn is present below the opening on one of the sides. A dark brown cord was probably originally attached to the body of the pouch at the corners of the opening, functioning as a strap. The cord was not included in the measurements. Color(s): White, brown.
