Shoulder bag (part a) with accessories (parts b-d). The dark brown rectangular bag is composed of three woven panels stitched together to form a pouch. The panels have raised meander designs in grey and maroon, and supplementary embroidery in green, yellow, red, blue and pink. The front has long red fringe attached, about 1/4 from the opening. The fringe is composed of plaited strands of red with some mustard yellow, olive green, dark green and navy blue included, as well as strings of white beads and silver-coloured beads. Small panels of embroidered geometric designs are attached above the fringe, and are separated by six vertical strings of white beads that extend into the long red fringe. Below each side panel, there is a section of brown twisted fringe along the bottom edge of the bag. The long dark brown strap is folded down the middle. The accessory (part b) consists of a length of knit(?) yarn in various shades of pinks, greens and some yellow - the ends of which terminate in red tassels of the same plaited string used on the bag's fringe. The accessories (parts c-d) are matching red fabric strings with tassels at both ends in white, yellow, red and dark blue.
