Salt bag composed of two panels stitched together on the left and right edges. The body of the bag is a wide rectangle, while the neck is a thinner rectangle with a reddish-brown strap on the upper corners. The neck of the bag is decorated with three horizontal stripes: the top and bottom with six and seven, respectively, yellow hexagons with black lines in the centre on a black background; the central with five light brown diamonds, each bordered above and below by T shapes, on a black background. The body of the bag is decorated with alternating vertical stripes of dark grey and yellow. The furthest left and right dark grey stripes have yellow and dark grey triangles. The yellow stripes have many horizontal diamonds, outlined in black and coloured either yellow or brown. The stripes are bordered above and below by dark grey triangles. Two brown tassels with fibre puffs and white beads are attached to the upper left corner of the body of the bag. The bottom of the bag has a brown fringe and many crisscrossed brown cords with gaps between them that form diamonds. The outer edges of the cords form a triangular shape. White beads and black, purple, brown, brownish-grey, dark red, or purplish-grey fibre puffs are on the bottom of each cord.
