Bag
Mesh bags, known as »bilum« in New Guinea, are indispensable companions for men and women in everyday life. Men used these small bags to carry and keep safe essential items, such as tobacco, betel nuts and betel nut accessories. It has been very carefully made and is presumably old, because the handles have been dyed with plant pigment. Today's mesh bags are either made entirely of synthetic fibres or dyed with artificial pigments.
