Bag woven from hand-spun brown wool and white factory cotton. Technique: double weave in chainstrips. The bag shape is created by folding the fabric in two and fixing the sides together. The decoration consists of a bird figure sitting on a branch with floral motifs, two smaller bird figures, geometric patterns and letters (on one side ZH, on the other side HO). At the top is a wave pattern. The sides have a "false braid".
