Bag

MOA: University of British Columbia

3183/5

Woven bilum type bag. Plant fibres are rolled to create long strands that are woven in a loose vertical weave, held together by sections of twisting that run horizontally. The small bag is wide at the bottom, narrower at the mouth, with a short handle connected at both outer corners. Handle construction is similar to that of the bag. Base colour is a light brown, with areas of dark brown and dark purple to blue-purple.
