Camel Bag1463/1

Large, flat, multi-coloured rectangular storage bag made of heavy, coarse wool fibre. One side of the bag is pile-woven, and the other is flat-woven. The centre design field of the pile-woven side is solidly patterned with small orange lozenge-shaped medallions, which are arranged in repeated rows on a dark red background and framed with several rows of black, orange and light brown border designs. The flat-woven side is predominantly red, with bold black, brown and orange horizontal stripes. The two sides are sewn together along three edges with brown yarn, using a blanket stitch, and there are the remains of several braided cords along one edge. There is a short red, black and orange fringe at the bottom. The top of the bag closes with a series of intertwining loops.
