content: Small utilitarian container basket. Rows of red and white beads on medium brown sisal background. Flap with rows of heavy copper chain. Long plastic multicolored cords. Donor says "...beads worked in by stringing them on the wefts and fixing between the warps... this type of bag is worn by women around the waist under the clothing to secure money, tobacco, and valuables while working in the shamba or travelling."
