Bag
Women carry heavy loads in knotted mesh bags of this kind. The handle is placed around the forehead and the bag hangs over one's back. Mesh bags are ideal for the transportation of small children. The production of the strings and the looping technique have remained unchanged to this day and the bags are still very popular. To measure the scale, the photo also shows a small men's bag.
