Carrier bag

Bag woven from raffia. The raffia strips, partly coloured in green and red strips of raffia are twisted together with yarn made from plant raffia (similar to woven mats). are joined together. The raffia fabric was then folded and the twisted yarns were joined at the sides with knots. At the upper edge, the raffia strips were interwoven in braided together in sections and these braids were then woven together again to form a thicker braid, thicker plait, into which the carrying strap, also in the form of a plaited cord, is hooked, is suspended.
