«Associated with the baby sack is an irregularly shaped wrapper made from a number of tanned skins, probably from unborn animals. At irregular intervals along the edges are short ties of the same material. An infant would be wrapped in such a wrapper before being placed in the baby sack. »

« Associé avec le porte-bébé se retrouve un sac de forme irrégulière fait de plusieurs peaux tannées, probablement de foetus. À intervalles irréguliers le long du rebord se trouvent de courtes bandes de ce même matériel. Un nourrisson devait être entouré dans un tel sac avant d’être placé dans le porte-bébé . »
