Black and off-white coca bag with coloured accents, a long thin black woven strap, and a small flap on the front. Made of two woven panels sewn together to form the front and back of the bag, with the top open. The strap is sewn into the inside seams of the bag. The front panel has black and coloured patterns on an off-white ground. There are five rows of black horse figures in profile with a line connecting the back to a rectangular shape above the back of each horse, and a small circle between the legs of the horses on the top and bottom row. Each row of horses is facing in an alternating direction, creating five columns of horse figures alternating direction. The central column of horse figures is bordered with two thin bands patterned with purple and dark green triangles with a white zigzag between them, and a mirrored dark blue pattern of triangles in another band outside those. There is a small flap with the same pattern as the central column, including the purple and dark green triangles, connected at the top of the flap and edged in white, open on the inside of the bag creating a small pocket. The bottom edge of the flap is made up of loops of wrapped threads, in shades of black, purple, blue, and off-white. Each bottom corner of the flap has a long tubular wrapped string with a small ball made of the same wrapped threads at the end. The top and bottom edges of the front panel have a black and off-white stripe. The right and left edges have a thin band patterned with dark purple and blue diamonds. The back panel of the bag is a black ground with two vertical purple stripes creating a centre band, with horizontal off-white lines across the bottom two thirds, a blank section of ground, and a patterned band across the top. The band has white stripes across the top and bottom, a stripe in the centre, and circles along the central stripe. The top and side borders of the bag are black, with a purple, off-white, and dark green checkered side edge connecting the panels. The bottom edge of the bag is made up of loops of wrapped threads in shades of black, purple, blue, and off-white with a wrapped thread ball at each corner and in the centre. Each ball has two long tubular wrapped strings with a ball at each end.
