Bag1046/1

Small, flat, pouch style, drawstring bag made from a red and yellow silk/cotton ikat textile, trimmed with beaded silk tassels, which are attached along the outside edges and beneath the drawstring casing. The seam along the outside edge of the pouch is trimmed with multi-coloured piping. Drawstrings are made of braided silk fibre (one is yellow and black, one is red and white), and the ends are trimmed with beaded silk tassels. The top edge is trimmed with a narrow strip to multi-coloured braid (tablet-woven?). Both sides of the bag are identical in construction; the textile on one side is predominantly red, with only a very small amount of yellow and off-white, while the other side has a bold yellow circle on a red background. The bag is lined with tan twill weave cotton textile. A short red and black braided cord is attached at the upper edge, serving as a handle.
