Carrying strap as grave goods

These carrying straps were used to transport heavy objects, but were also used as grave goods. The cords are woven from plant fibres. The centre, wider part, which was placed on the forehead, is sewn with dark cotton fabric. sewn around it. A small section further up on the cords is also sewn with fabric. There is a small, coloured pattern here, which shows that this fabric comes from Japan (wajin culture).
