Used by native hunter to carry his powder, gravels for missiles, and dry leaves for wadding his gun. Garner: "This bag is netted by hand, the thread spun by hand and twisted by rolling it on the thigh. They use no wheel, spindle or stack of any kind to spin it. It is then woven or netted into various forms. The material used is the fiber of the pineapple leaf. The color, when clean, is a yellowish white. The dye used for the stripes is made of barks, roots, etc., of several kinds. This particular bag was used by a 'pangue or Pfan hunter to carry his powder, gravels for missiles and dry plantain leaves for wadding his gun." Cleaned, see Restoration Record 12-23-64.
