This causes two seams on either bag face to occur centrally, and black strap to have double thickness. Ends finished by adding band of white weft lines then unravelling black fabric and twisting two strands each to form tassels. Along top, colourful embroidered crosses occurring four on each bag face, and spaced yellow weft lines, all horizontally placed.
